Community Engagement & Service Learning

Catalog description

Community Engagement and Service Learning engages students in the opportunity to actively address the realities that exist in our communities. Through purposefully designed service learning activities and critical reflection, students connect theory to practice while learning by doing. This enhances classroom learning and allows students the opportunity to practice skills before graduation, to work meaningfully with community partners, and to appreciate various aspects of the work they do in a broader social context. Community engagement also provides networking opportunities for students and prepares them to become agents of meaningful change in their communities and professions.
