Semester-by-Semester Engagement
Students are expected to engage with the themes of the Innovation Scholar Program each semester during their time as undergraduates at IC.  Examples of engagement may include courses and/or coursework, seminar attendance, volunteer activities, social events, etc. At the end of each semester, scholars will complete an Engagement Report that describes their engagement and reflects on how the activity connected them to the themes of sustainability and social justice. The engagement report will be completed at the end of each semester and will be reviewed by the minor coordinator.  Successful completion of semester-by-semester engagement reports is a requirement to graduate with the minor.
