Service-Learning

Curriculum-based hands-on learning with the community that addresses real world issues. Service provides context for translating discipline-based theories into practice. Students apply academic and discipline knowledge to meet community identified needs.

You can also get an introduction to civic engagement through C1 Civic Knowledge and Responsibilities courses. The C1 Outcome prepares students to be involved citizens and active community members and professionals, and encourages them to participate in civic discourse and activities of personal and public concern that benefit both individuals and the community as a whole. Distributed uniformly among all course levels, students have the opportunity to develop civic-mindedness through meaningful interactions on campus and within the surrounding community throughout their academic career.
