| Title of the Proposed Engage 100 Experience | Engaging with the Gulf of Mexico Region |
| Description of Experience (for Students) | This course aims to generate and maintain interest in the Gulf of Mexico region; and to motivate students to become active learners, critical thinkers, responsible students, and ethical professionals and community members. Students will be introduced to the Gulf region, its history and current challenges, issues, and relevant events. Students will learn about the many areas of study in, and of, the Gulf of Mexico region, to enter communities that are not their own, to develop interdisciplinary competence, and about continued engagement opportunities in the region. Upon completing this course, students should be able to create and implement an action plan for continued campus and community involvement. Students will be able to interact with campus staff and faculty from a variety of disciplines. Students will have a chance to build relationships with selected peer mentors. |
| Description of Experience (for Review) | This experience is based on the unique experiences of the people in the Gulf of Mexico region, which includes Tallahassee and Florida State University. The Gulf Scholars Program and its team will work to teach students about the history, the people, and other fascinating aspects of the Gulf. Our team will also teach students about mentorship, community engagement, and campus involvement. Two of the current Gulf Scholars will be Peer Mentors for the course. They will be students' first point-of-contact, discuss their experiences as Gulf Scholars and FSU students, and even have a chance to present and lead activities for our students. Students will spend the semester working on their Action Plan project which will detail their plan to join a campus organization. This project will be presented in one of the final weeks of the semester for the entire class and the guests who have presented to them. Overall, students will learn about the Gulf of Mexico region, the Gulf Scholars program, and learn about their involvement goals. Peer mentors will come from the current cohort of Gulf Scholars through an application process. They will attend all class meetings, be the first point of contact for students, and gain teaching and curriculum skills. Peer mentors will each have a week to present a topic surrounding the Gulf that interests them with approval. |
