Service Learning is different from co-curricular and volunteer activities in several key areas:

Faculty may find out more about Service Learning by enrolling in workshops offered throughout the year. Watch for faculty email announcements for workshop dates. Additionally, information and guidance is available by contacting members of the Service Learning Committee.

The committee reviews courses proposed by the faculty to assure that they meet criteria for Service Learning Designated Classes. The committee also provides information on Service Learning, advises faculty and participates in the Service Learning Training Workshops.

Faculty members who complete the Service Learning workshops are designated as Service Learning Mentors. The Service Learning Committee recommends that the faculty members who achieve the status of Service Learning Mentor receive recognition and credit in their annual evaluations for the teaching aspect and the service aspect of service learning.
