Empowering the Future with Service Learning
Our Mission for Transformative Education
Service learning expands student perspectives, transforming their lives and empowering them to make a positive difference in their communities. The CSL works with faculty to incorporate a service learning component into their coursework, whereby students work in reciprocity with a nonprofit agency on a project related to what they're learning in the classroom. This experience benefits both the student and the community and prepares compassionate leaders committed to creating a more just and equitable world.

The magic and power of education at that moment was something that I always wanted to recreate. It was so rewarding to be a part of that transformation and process.
