CASC Minor Release for Seniors
In order to complete your senior audit and prepare to graduate, you need to complete a release for both your major and minor.
You should complete your major r
elease
before you complete your minor
release
.
Once you have completed your major release, please complete this form to help us complete your minor release.
You may notice that the courses you have taken for CASC do not show up correctly on your Academic Requirements Checklist on Wolverine Access. Because of the way our system works, these courses may not show up until after you complete your minor release.
If you would like to discuss your
minor release
please contact Joe.
CASC Survey
All CASC students are invited to participate in a
survey about the CASC minor. This survey will help us to understand your experiences in the minor and your social justice learning. This survey is completely voluntary, and your responses will be recorded anonymously. You will need to log in to your google account to access the survey, but your username will not be recorded. Your responses will be used for research by the CASC team. Be in touch with
CASC director Katie Richards-Schuster with any questions.
Social Change Media Interviews
PhD student
Dan Lane is conducting a study exploring how socially engaged college students use social media as change makers. Please join them for a one-on-one interview to share your experiences using social media as a tool for talking about the issues you are passionate about. It will be a great opportunity to think more deeply about how social media can be used for social justice and help contribute towards research in this area. The interviews will be 1 hour and scheduled during your availability. Snacks will be provided!
DECLARE
You can
still sign up for DECLARE!
DECLARE is one and a half day retreat that will allow you to dive deeply into thinking about your identities, your social justice work, and how you can work to implement change. The retreat is open to all declared CASC minors, and students who have met with a CASC advisor and plan to declare the minor. Students interested in signing up for DECLARE should
