SAN FRANCISCO, CA – SEPTEMBER 15, 2017: Incoming freshmen in the class of 2021 tour the San Francisco office of Gensler, a world-renowned architecture and design firm, followed by a discussion about reimagining civic spaces. “Co-curricular” programs like these are organized weekly in each global city as a compliment to the students' coursework, and are designed to facilitate active learning through the civic partnerships. Consistent with the “flipped” classroom model, these experiential learning components are an embodiment of the Minerva ethos, where the city is the classroom. For incoming freshmen, San Francisco is the first of eight global cities to serve as a backdrop for their undergraduate education.
