PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Brown University is helping teach swimming – in conjunction with the Boys & Girls Club – by introducing children to water polo as part of the school’s Engaged Sport Initiative.
The Engaged Sport Initiative connects campus and community partners in an effort to explore the ways sport can enhance the academic experience and engage communities. The initiative will use a series of graduated curricular and co-curricular experiences and the experience of participating in intercollegiate athletics as a means to develop students, serve the community and integrate sport into the broader teaching and learning goals of the university, particularly the university’s initiative on engaged scholarship.
