This is accomplished through an experiential approach to teaching and learning that can be implemented in courses that incorporate:

• Leadership development
• Civic literacy
• The development of 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.

Through real life experience, Service-Learning recognizes the reciprocal relationship between our campus and those being served thereby encouraging students to embrace their role as vested community members while assisting our community in seeing the promise in our students.
