Service-learning courses follow a non-traditional model of learning and teaching that encourages students to engage in meaningful service opportunities in the community that purposefully overlap with and enhance the academic learning that occurs in the classroom.

 

Mission 

The mission of the Center for Service-Learning is to support the development of meaningful service-learning opportunities that meet community-defined needs, enhance learning by integrating academic curriculum and service, and foster civic engagement, equity, and a sense of social purpose.
