FacultyFor faculty, service-learning can . . .  Reinvigorate a Course Service-learning is a unique pedagogy that can be new and exciting for both the teacher and learner. Students draw not only on course concepts and theories, but also on their own experiences to reflect on issues of importance in the discipline. It provides the instructor with another resource, a tool in the teaching repertoire that enhances collaboration and active learning.
Strengthen a Student's Understanding By linking service with coursework, faculty promote critical experiences for students to reflect on and learn from, enabling them to see the applications of academic knowledge. Students bring to class discussion different perspectives on their service work, creating the potential for a more engaging and diverse learning environment.
Provide Connections with the Community Interacting with the community provides exposure to local issues and social concerns, giving faculty and students the ability to identify resources and develop meaningful relationships that may shape future professional endeavors and civic participation.
