    Deflating Myths about Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) in the Midwest, USA: A Unifying Curriculum Project
    (2022-06-02) O'Gara, Jordyn R
    Within the Midwestern region of the US there are four primary problematic myths about the wolf: (1) wolves are dangerous to people, (2) wolves will devastate the local deer herd, (3) wolves are a major threat to the livestock industry, and (4) dogs are not safe in areas occupied by wolves (Timber Wolf Alliance, n.d,). The curriculum for this master’s project is designed to deflate these myths using sound science and environmental theories and models. It is formatted based on guidelines recommended within the Understanding by Design Framework (UbD) (McTighe & Wiggins, 2012; Sgro & Freeman, 2008). The curriculum is divided into four modules, with two lessons in each module, based on the four myths - overall, there is about eight hours of education material available. Each lesson lays out goals for participants, background material for the educator, an example lesson plan, and a section about social behavioral change. This last section utilizes theories and models such as the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen 2000) and the environmental identity development model (Green, 2018). For the purpose of this project the curriculum was reviewed by a panel of experts but not fully evaluated.

    Examining the intersections between undergraduates' engagement in community service and development of socially responsible leadership
    (2013-06-05) Soria, Krista; Nobbe, June; Fink, Alex
    This paper examined relationships between students’ engagement in community service in different contexts through classes, student organizations, work study, and on their own as well as their development of socially responsible leadership at a large, public, research university in the Upper Midwest. Results from the Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership survey distributed at a single institution (n = 1,282) suggest, among other things, that students who participated in community service on their own consistently reported higher socially responsible leadership while students who participated in service both on their own and in a student organization reported higher socially responsible leadership in all areas save for consciousness of self.
