Community Service Learning Overview

Community Service Learning (CSL) is integrated into the curriculum with its two-fold emphasis on both enriching student learning and revitalizing the community in what defines experiential learning. The structure of the class involves students with opportunities that address the human, safety, educational, and environmental needs of the community.  Therefore, the student’s services and reflection activities enrich learning experiences by emphasizing the logical link between experience and knowledge.

Service to the Community Overview

Service to the Community is an outreach to the community that provides a win-win situation to all involved.  Students, faculty, and staff volunteer their services and in return gain new experiences, new friends, and new life possibilities while developing a stronger sense of self worth and pride.  The community has the opportunity to experience such benefits as improving its conditions, enhancing visibility and prestige, building a stronger and safer atmosphere, and developing better resources for all citizens while increasing public input.
