Why Service Learning?
Service Learning is a method by which students learn and develop intellectually through the combination of traditional classroom work and structured community service. Students reflect upon their experiences in the community and integrate what they learn into their academic courses, using the Service Learning component as an additional text. In the end, students learn from real-life experiences, which enhance their understanding and make their course work more real and personal. At the same time, the students meet a critical need in the community. An equal reciprocal exchange of giving, receiving, and understanding takes place between the university and the community.
Program Vision:
- To serve as a link between students and needs in the greater community
- To set students on a path to the real world through hands-on learning
- To challenge students to provide for the needs of their community
- To empower students to perform the duties expected of them in their service learning commitments
- To gently encourage students to learn from both failures and successes
