Big Experiences Lead to Bold Futures

Under the Launch career development platform, all students graduate with at least two experiential learning opportunities on their transcripts. Guaranteed.

This shortTREC program will count towards this out-of-the-classroom requirement in Drew’s rigorous curriculum.

Travel

Explore three cities that stand witness to apartheid and its aftermath: Johannesburg, home to Mandela and Tutu; Durban, rich with memories of the fight for freedom; and Cape Town, central to the work of reconciliation and truth. See how South Africa—and its diverse social and cultural groups—have been indelibly shaped by the hurtful past of apartheid and the hopeful power of reconciliation.

Rethink

Identity and Intergroup Conflict

How do social identities influence our relations with others? What are the social, psychological, and political drivers of group difference? Of intergroup conflict? How do these conflicts develop? How can conflicts be reduced and groups be reconciled?
