OSU
U-ENGAGE COURSE, FALL 2014“UNTOLD STORIES: THE HISTORIES OF PEOPLE OF COLOR IN OREGON”
OSU offers two credit “U-Engage” courses designed to help first year students explore a current real-world issue or compelling question of interest while engaging in interactive learning
Idea ~ To have students conduct oral history interviews with OSU faculty and staff of color to share their experiences at OSU regarding diversity and inclusion
Need ~ A digital tool to create a book accessible to the public that would showcase the interviews and student responses
