Introduction

Social Change can be described as the various social and civic activities that produce a change is behavior and through awareness and understanding ().From the very first class a student participates in they will be immersed in the university's mission statement. Many students write papers on what they believe is social change, and how Walden uses this concept to revolutionize the educational experience. Social change can be thought of as a phenomenon that if fully bought in to and accepted, could change an individual's life as well as the community for which they serve.
