Service Learning

Service Learning is a unique partnership between Student Affairs, the Office of Community Service and Service Learning and Academic Affairs. Interested faculty members are encouraged to include a community service component into their course work and require students to spend at least two hours a week serving at a local school or social service agency.

Professors in Modern Languages, Management and Marketing, Political Science, Theology, History, Sociology, Biology, Philosophy and Education currently participate in the program.
