Description
Research has focused on the impact of service-learning on student development “as a whole person”, on assisting community in solving social challenges and issues, on civic education and even leadership and critical thinking. On a more practical level, emphasis has been put on identifying community, social and other worldly challenges to which the university and its students can contribute to their resolutions, via service-learning programs. This workshop, while not neglecting the elements noted thus far, focuses on designing service-learning offerings in meeting established academic objectives, be that in the humanities, social science, physical or life science. The Workshop facilitator has had over 20 years of experience in developing service-learning as part of the undergraduate liberal arts and science curriculum at a large comprehensive state university. Join the Workshop and see how your specific academic objectives can be fulfilled through service-learning. 24
