Abstract:
In this essay, the author begins with a discussion of Brown's open curriculum as a model of citizenship
and community participation. Secondly, he turns to concentration (or major)
requirements, the area where he sees the most interesting approaches to civic engagement
and the greatest opportunities for integrating public service and curriculum.
Finally, he evaluates the positive aspects of Brown's institutional effort to
engage with the community, the Swearer Center for Public Service, while suggesting
ways to expand its mission and continue the evolution of the curriculum. (Author)
