Project Description: Students will be required to collaborate with their classmates to develop an art project or lesson plan that they will implement as a group at the Washington Neighborhood Center in the Alkali Flats neighborhood. The projects will be designed to serve the needs of the individuals whom the students will be working with at the center as well as the students themselves. Through the process, the students will help provide valuable cultural programming to these individuals as they assist the students in applying and refining their academic experience for application in real-life life situations. In effect, these projects will be collaborations between the students, acting as ambassadors of Sacramento State, and the people in the Alkali Flats community. The projects that they develop will act as a model for future academic/community collaborations.
