Each journal entry should demonstrate thoughtful engagement with the week's topics. Explore your personal experiences, insights, and reactions, connecting these to the course content. Reflections should go beyond surface-level observations, delving into how the material resonates with or challenges their views.

Journals should explicitly link reflections to key course themes such as cultural integration, storytelling, relationship-building, and collective action in fundraising. This connection ensures that you are not only processing the material but also applying it to your personal and professional contexts.

Your journal should capture your growth over the course, illustrating how their understanding of culturally integrated fundraising evolves. You are encouraged to note shifts in perspective, new realizations, and how these insights may influence their future practices.
