Faculty

By incorporating service-learning into your curricula, you’ll find that the experience:

• Expands your role from giver of knowledge to facilitator of knowledge.
• Inspires a variety of learning-centered teaching strategies.
• Increases possibilities for research and publications related to current trends and social issues.
• Promotes civic responsibility and leadership.
• Connects your course learning objectives to service opportunities in the community.
• Increases students’ awareness of current issues and unmet community needs as related to academic areas of interest.

You’ll work with agency supervisors to guide your students through a broad range of experiences and help them to gain an appreciation of the diverse backgrounds and life situations within the community.
