• Both Semester for Impact and Semester in the City are 15 credit programs that include an internship chosen specifically for each student, two courses in social innovation, and a post-program Americorps scholarship of about $2000. 
• The internships are at social impact organizations: nonprofits, public offices, or B-corporations focused on improving their community. 
• The courses help students develop the skills, attitudes, and networks that can help launch a career to be proud of. 
• The big difference between the programs is location: Semester in the City happens fully in Boston, and Semester for Impact happens locally on the South Coast. 
• UMass Dartmouth College for Social Innovation Home Page: Contains applications forms, GPA/ academic credit/ academic standing requirements, and financial aid options.  
• Talk with your Honors advisor to understand how your Honors College credit requirements and APEX timeline will tie into your Semester for Impact or Semester in the City experience.

Founded in 1948 as the Honors Program, many of the people who know about the history are retiring or already retired. Collecting their knowledge and detailing this history would be a significant project. This project could be interdisciplinary as well, with CVPA-aligned majors curating images/visuals to complement this history.
