STOak is hands-on, with a mix of structured course work, field trips, group discussions, and independent research. Topics include social change through community-based research, systems thinking, leadership strategies, non-profit organizational structures, and local government. Students research the social, political, and economic landscape of their focus topic while learning the professional conduct they will practice in their summer internships at community-based organizations.
