Global Development and Justice - MAGDJ

We just wrapped up the last class of the term focused on community development. It's always an awkward feeling being on this side of the term, missing the learning community we form in class, yet grateful we made progress and students have completed their projects. Seven-week terms are no small feat - for students or profs!

Summer terms start today! We have two courses this summer, Fieldwork Project and Integrative Capstone. Here we go!

“John Perkins stood with ideas and action and the kind of moral authority that can come only from testing those ideas with his life—standing for something true and loving something real." - Russell Moore

“John Perkins stood with ideas and action and the kind of moral authority that can come only from testing those ideas with his life—standing for something true and loving something real,” writes Russell Moore.

“That’s the kind of witness Perkins was. And that’s what made him seem so strange in this juvenile, demoralized time.”

We recently completed our Global Development and Justice (MAGDJ) course on Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning. Some of the final projects included Sex-trafficking Prevention, Evaluating Purposeful Travel, Strengthening Church and Non-profit Partnerships, Assessing Reduction of Homelessness and Affordable Housing Options among others.

Now jumping into session 2 of our Spring semester with Economic and Community Development and Human Rights and Public Policy courses. As you can imagine, there are a lot of critical topics to discuss right now. Never a dull moment in a MAGDJ course!
