The course had three learning goals: (1) teach students torecognize their public welfare responsibilities, (2) motivate students to act on public welfareissues, and (3) equip students with intervention strategies (e.g., understanding whistleblowingprotections, writing an op-ed) to confront issues they may encounter in their future professionalwork. In this paper, we provide a detailed description of the course and present data from pre-and post-class surveys and open-ended reflections to illustrate how the class produced notablechanges in students’ (a) recognition of their public welfare responsibilities, (b) motivation totake action, and (c) familiarity with intervention
