What is COR 401?
This website and documentary are both made in partial fulfillment of a senior capstone course at Greenville College, a Christian liberal arts institution in Greenville, IL. This course works to integrate the different academic disciplines of the group members as well as the culmination of education received at Greenville College. The group is expected to focus in on a specific issue of their choice and apply it to the theme of peace and reconciliation. The group then creates a tangible product that they present to peers and faculty addressing the specific issue and how it relates to the theme of peace and reconciliation.
