Service Learning

Service learning programs foster the College's engagement within the larger community and promote leadership, social and civic responsibility and student involvement as integral aspects of college education.

Students, faculty and community partners and agencies come together to form experiential education characterized by student participation in an organized service activity that combines:

  • academic study
  • community service
  • reflection

Volunteering vs. Service Learning

Volunteering is usually extracurricular. It is strictly community service and has no connection to classroom instruction.

Service Learning is a co-curricular instructional strategy. The reflection process enables students to think critically about their educational experience and examine their service in greater context.
