The Changemaker Residential learning community brings together like-minded students who want to think differently about social and environmental problems, engage in conversations with thought leaders and practitioners of social change, and develop key changemaker skills for working with others across difference. Residents will learn from Taylor Center staff and faculty as well as community leaders. Through the TIDES course, students will engage in critical service learning with our partner Grow Dat Youth Farm.
HRL works in partnership with the Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design on the Changemaker RLC. If you have questions about the RLC content or programming, please contact Samantha Fleurinor (sfleurin@tulane.edu), Senior Program Coordinator in the Taylor Center.
Below are a few examples of past programs that Changemaker RLC students have participated in through the RLC. The programs vary each year with input from RLC students, staff, and faculty.
As a member of the Changemaker RLC, you must take the Tulane Interdisciplinary Experience Seminary (TIDES) course that is affiliated with the RLC. The TIDES program offers first-year courses to students to promote interdisciplinary scholarship and exploration. .
