Faculty

"A good college affirms that service to others is a central part of education."
- The Carnegie Foundation, College: The Undergraduate Experience in America

Creating a service-learning partnership for a course results in enhanced teaching and student engagement.  In a service-learning classroom, learning is often transformative. Frequent reflection assists in the development of higher order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis and evaluation, which can help our students to solve real-world problems.

Potential Opportunities

We seek faculty across all disciplines to orchestrate service-learning projects.

If you have an idea for a service-learning project, or general questions about incorporating service-learning into a curriculum, please contact the Service-Learning Team.

• Offers an alternative means of learning course material, thereby increasing student mastery of core competencies.
• Offers the opportunity for faculty to encourage students to impact social change.
