<\/span>HC 409 Cultural Ambassador Conversant Program \u2013 Volunteer Path or HC 409 1 Elective Credit Path \u2013 Corvallis Campus Only
The INTO OSU Cultural Ambassador Conversant Program [CACP] provides an opportunity for honors students to volunteer with the possibility of earning an HC elective credit. According to INTO OSU, “[CACP] is a great way to internationalize your education at OSU and gain cultural diversity experience here on campus. Cultural Ambassador groups aim to explore our campus and participate in meaningful conversations that help international students practice their English skills and feel a greater sense of connection with the OSU and Corvallis community.”
Anyone is able to volunteer with CACP for free or register for HC 409 for HC credit, which requires logs of meeting dates throughout the term and a reflection paper due at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>The Honors College provides an opportunity for HC students to earn credit while serving and learning in their community. To earn one honors elective credit, commit to volunteering 2-3 hours per week in a local community agency.
