The Langley Park Project
Langley Park is a neighborhood one mile west of the University of Maryland. More than two-thirds of its population are Latino immigrants who arrived in this country within the past ten years. The Langley Park area was selected as the focus of the 1995-1997 spring semesters’ graduate urban planning studio-seminar taught by Dr. Bill Hanna. The continuing effort of Dr. Hanna, his students, residents and other allies is called "The Langley Park Project."

Seat Pleasant Partnership
The City of Seat Pleasant and the Department of Public and Community Health at the University of Maryland formed a Health Partnership in 1999 to improve the health of Seat Pleasant residents, and enhance learning and research for students and faculty of the University of Maryland. Students and faculty provide to Seat Pleasant residents health education services that might not otherwise be available. At the same time, students and faculty learn from Seat Pleasant residents and integrate and apply components of the health education curriculum at the community level.

The Six Faces of Vietnam
"The Six Faces of Vietnam" is a study abroad and service-learning course designed to immerse students in the political, cultural, and economic life of contemporary Vietnam and the legacies of the American war in Vietnam. The course focuses on economic, political and social issues in Vietnam's six interdependent parts: the south, center, north, deltas, villages, and the Overseas Vietnamese. Dr. Lois Vietri first offered this College Park Scholars course in January 1999.

College Park Scholars
College Park Scholars is a special two-year program for academically talented students that is modeled on the residential college plan. The program encourages students who share common intellectual interests to study together in courses organized around common themes and to live together in selected residence halls. Every College Park Scholars program has an experiential learning component. Students choose from independent research projects with their faculty mentors, service-learning projects, and a variety of internships both on and off campus.

Honors
University Honors prepares students by developing the intellectual breadth necessary for a long, responsible life in a complex, fast-changing world. The Honors Program challenges students to explore the full range of academic and social diversity of the Maryland campus and to seek ways to serve the needs of the larger world off campus.

All Honors students take a colloquium which encourages beginning students to think broadly about the personal and social value of education and about what it means to be an educated person. Carefully selected readings, community service projects, and cross-cultural activities are shared with 15 other Honors students during the first semester.

CIVICUS
CIVICUS is an innovative living-learning program organized around the theme of "creating a civil society." Through a specially designed set of courses, extracurricular programs, and experiential opportunities (including service-learning), students in the program will explore and investigate what makes a civil society and then work with the other Somerset Hall residents to build their own.

Beyond the Classroom
Beyond the Classroom's mission is to foster a community of students by creating meaningful research, internship, and service-learning experiences, enhancing professional preparation and cultivating civic engagement.
