Faculty: Kimberly D. Schmidt, Ryan M. Good
Students explore career-building internships, city life, cultural diversity and the connections between faith and work at the Washington Community Scholars' Center (WCSC). Begun in 1976, WCSC brings students to Washington, D.C. to learn hands-on about their vocations, urban social change, race and ethnicity, faith, and personal growth. WCSC programs combine service internships, group living, and seminar courses. WCSC faculty design internships in partnership with students and their academic advisors.
WCSC Student Life
Students share a house in a working/ middle class, largely African-American neighborhood. The house, located in the historic Brookland neighborhood, is a ten-minute walk from the Brookland-CUA Metro station, the Catholic University of America, shops, restaurants and recreational areas. It is an excellent location from which to explore the city. WCSC student life is a community experience, including shared meals, cooking, and cleaning. Through living together, students gain new perspectives about themselves and others, along with building stronger interpersonal and conflict resolution skills.
Information on internships and applications can be found at: www.emu.edu/wcsc. Inquiries are also welcome at: wcsc@emu.edu or call 202-529-5378. WCSC brochures and applications are available from the Cross-Cultural Programs Office.

Leadership and Organizational Management
VA Program Coordinator: Margo McIntire PA Program Coordinator: Mary Jensen Aviation Coordinator: Jim Cistone
Eastern Mennonite University recog- nizes that the traditional delivery format does not always accommodate the edu- cational needs of adults. The acceler- ated Leadership and Organizational Management (LOM) degree completion program is designed to fit the lives of
people who are busy with professional and/or family commitments. The accel- erated program, tailored for a mature, interactive learning style, has the follow- ing features:
Classes are held one night each week for approximately 15 months majoring in leadership and organizational manage- ment. In Harrisonburg, VA, approxi- mately one-third of the class sessions
are held online using a combination of synchronous and asynchronous technol- ogies. In Lancaster, PA, all coursework is delivered in a face-to-face format.
Course content is focused on practical application to the occupation of the student.
The program capitalizes on the experi- ences and skills of the adult student and, in some cases, offers credit for pre- vious professional and life experiences.
Students are admitted as part of a "cohort group" which participates in the entire series of courses together.
A more traditional 4-year LOM with Aviation concentration is available at the EMU at Lancaster location. Admissions and coursework requirements for the LOM with Aviation concentration can be found later in this section. For students in this program, the LOM courses are not offered in the sequence described below.
To be considered for admission to the accelerated LOM degree completion pro- gram a student must satisfy the following requirements:
A minimum of 60 SH of transferable credit from accredited colleges or uni- versities.
A cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above.
Current employment or involvement with an organization which enhances the learning outcomes of the program.
Twenty-five years of age. This require- ment is waived for TSCT transfer stu- dents in Lancaster.
