Service-Learning Faculty

Studies have shown that Academic Service-learning is a very effective tool in enhancing learning and making it a memorable experience students will take with them long after the last day they spend in your class.

Much study has gone into developing best practices for the classrooms that choose to utilize Academic Service-Learning as a teaching methodology. We have established processes, policies, resources, and networking around those.
