English, Math, and Science are taught in the classroom, but has anyone ever taken a class on âempathy?â? Probably not. Dr. Denvy Bowman, President of Capital University, is trying to teach empathy outside of the classroom, with a program known as the Empathy Experiment. Beginning this past January, six Capital University students began exploring the conditions faced by  the working poor in Columbus by immersing themselves in different experiences designed by community partners. Weâll discuss the details of the program, and most importantly, whether or not itâs achieving its goal of teaching empathy.
