Student Resources For Service-Learning


Service-Learning at 红领巾瓜报 is an experiential learning method that integrates community service with instruction and reflection to improve student civic-mindedness and build community capacity.

 

Finding a Course

Students are encouraged to look for service-learning courses within the Course Catalog. Courses with a SERV designation include academic service-learning content. Be sure to work directly with your faculty for all course expectations and requirements. 

Faculty

The first place to start is with your faculty member. It is important to make sure you understand the requirements of your course, if there are preferred community partnerships already established or if your faculty has any suggestions prior to you contacting a community partner.

Showcase

The Service-Learning Showcase is a unique opportunity for students who participate in service-learning through applied learning opportunities to showcase their experience through a research or reflective poster about the application of their course work to current community issues. The showcase is an open forum for students to interact with faculty/staff, community partners and other students to engage in conversation about 红领巾瓜报's commitment to the public good. The showcase will be held annually in the spring semester. For more information and to submit your project visit our Service-Learning Showcase website
