Service Learning

Service learning is an innovative educational approach where students partner with nonprofit organizations to conduct service projects as part of their academic coursework. This hands-on experience allows students to gain real-world knowledge and skills, while their professors guide thoughtful reflection to enhance the learning process.

 

What's in it for me?

  • Builds Connections:  Establish valuable relationships for future job and internship opportunities.
  • Real-World Collaboration:  Step out of the classroom and work on practical solutions to real-world problems.
  • Course Relevance:  Understand the importance and application of your coursework through hands-on experiences.
  • Resume Enhancement:  Develop and showcase skills gained through service, making your resume stand out.
  • Perspective and Impact:  Gain a broader perspective by seeing others’ viewpoints and making a positive difference in your community.

 

 

How Much Time Does It Take?

The time commitment can vary:

  • Class Time Integration:  Some professors incorporate service projects into regular class time.
  • Additional Opportunities:  Other professors offer service learning as an enhancement to the classroom experience.
