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.

Service Learning Insights

Faculty Insights: Service Learning Unveiled

Uncover the transformative power of Service Learning through the testimonials of faculty members.
Service Learning can actually be a step toward an internship or a similar kind of practice. It helps students develop skills, conduct outreach, and use tools that they’ve been developing.
If you're getting any kind of value out of it [Faculty Fellows Program] at all, you know whether you're learning or even thinking about what you can do to turn parts of your course into a service learning course.
Service learning is important because we do want to try out best to expose students to real partners who have real needs.
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.
