Service-Learning Requirements
Service Learning engages students in community service activities with intentional academic learning goals and opportunities for reflection that connects to their academic disciplines. Guided reflection is a key component of service learning; students will integrate their service experience(s) with classroom knowledge to enhance the learning process. Service learning is part of the curriculum in select courses and is validated by the faculty of those courses and by the department in which those courses are taught.
Students accepted into a professional program prior to fall 2011 will be required to complete the service learning hours requirements as stated in the Academic Bulletin for the year of their professional program acceptance. If you have questions or concerns about your service learning requirements, please contact the Director of Community Engagement in the Student Services Department.
Student Activities
Student Services provides a variety of opportunities designed to enhance students’ social and relational experiences. Throughout the year, activities include the International Food Festival, New Student Welcome, Spring Picnic, and much more. The dates of these events are published in the Student Planner and in the Calendar section of this Handbook.
