Educational Programs

Our service location in the heart of one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in Kansas, allows HOP to provide many unique opportunities for culturally enriched service-learning, clinical rotations, practica, training in community based research methods and geographic information systems (GIS), cultural competency courses, and other forms of experiential learning. Faculty, students and community partners collaborate on a variety of applied research projects designed to improve the conditions of life for the more disadvantaged residents of South Central Kansas. To date, students and/or faculty from 30 departments across the Wichita State University campus have participated in HOPs community-based academic-related activities. Students and faculty from a number sister institutions regularly take part in our educational offerings. Additionally, HOP offers non-credit and continuing education classes, workshops and conferences for the larger community.
