Service Learning ~ Clowning Around 2011
HONS 251 Students Apply Service Learning as the Mott Campus Clowns
The Mott Campus Clowns are a newly-formed clown troupe at Mott Community College. All ten members are Honors Program students enrolled in HONS 251: Social Diversity & Civic Engagement. As a course requirement, students must develop various clown skills, including juggling, puppetry, pocket magic, balloon animals, and face painting. In October, while in Detroit for a service weekend, the Mott Campus Clowns made appearances at Boys & Girls Clubs, Special Olympics, nursing homes and community events.
On November 18, the troupe departs for Lansing for another weekend.
Campus Clowns Headed to Philadelphia for Spring Break
Students enrolled in HONS 251 during Winter Semester will venture to the City of Brotherly Love for Alternative Spring Break from March 11 through March 18. Students will be housed at the Old First Reformed Church. Partial funding for the Mott Campus Clowns has been provided through a Venture Grant awarded by the Michigan Campus Compact.
