Workforce Development will be offering a course called Tiny Habits beginning on July 27th that is free of charge. This asynchronous course introduces students to basic concepts of social justice and social change. Students will learn how to create, develop, and employ "tiny habits" that can build towards engagement in small, but impactful, virtual service acts. Students will consider their roles as citizens and their actions from the personal to political and the local to global.
