Start Date

Description
During Maymester 2013, Belmont students participated in an experiential learning course taught by Dr. Mitch McCoy entitled “Abrazo Cultural Embrace.” With the objective of learning what it means to be an immigrant in Nashville, students read articles, wrote reflective journals and volunteered with local non-profits that serve the city’s growing Latino communities. In this session, several students will join Dr. McCoy to share about how the course’s mixture of classroom reading, volunteering, field trips and invited guest speakers introduced them to Nashville neighbors they might not normally have met and furthered their understanding of how to serve those international neighbors who now call Nashville home.
