Tools to make a more just world

The Institute for Social Concerns has created the following resources designed for faculty and students of any university.

COMMUNITY
CASES

These case studies are designed to help undergraduate students critically reflect on the complex, real-world challenges they may encounter during community engagement of various kinds. They offer space to explore personal, interpersonal, ethical, and systemic dynamics that arise in community-engaged work, and to consider appropriate and thoughtful responses to a variety of challenges and situations. 

INTEGRATING
VIRTUE
TOGETHER

Integrating Virtue Together is a community of practice for faculty from across institutions and disciplines to integrate moral virtues into their courses.

We invite you to explore our explainer videos, a course design framework, and course examples as you work to build a classroom where community and curriculum promote not only intellectual and technical excellence, but also excellence of character. 

VIRTUES IN
ENGINEERING

What does it mean to be a good engineer? Good engineers need computational, design, and problem-solving skills as well as civic, intellectual, moral, and performance virtues to be a force for good in the world. Find out more about how virtues apply in the context of engineering and see examples from courses in Notre Dame’s College of Engineering, designed in collaboration with Virtues & Vocations.
