ExEd Champions Spotlight: Aletha Stahl. Activities for a Maymester Immersion

October 30, 2023

I recently co-led a 3-week program in Morocco. The course, offered through the Department of Human Development and Family Science, explored youth development. Specific learning outcomes focused on comparing sociocultural factors and values influencing Moroccan family life and US family life, applying culturally-relevant knowledge and intercultural teamwork skills, sharpening emotional resilience, and identifying how worldview impacts perceptions, behaviors, and communication.
