Service Learning
The Service Learning initiative seeks to expand opportunities to apply classroom knowledge in meeting the social needs of the community in a broader quest for the common good.
This experiential approach to learning can be implemented in courses that incorporate:
- Leadership development
- Civic literacy
- Critical thinking as it relates to society
Service Learning, whether through short or long-term community service projects, affords students the opportunity to integrate theory into practice, apply practical skills, clarify values, and raise consciousness about community issues.
Vision
We envision a vibrant campus that is proactively engaged in our local community and greater society.
Mission
We expand opportunities for curricular and co-curricular learning that strive to transform scholarship and knowledge into wisdom and active service.
