Why Service-Learning?

Learn in the classroom, serve in the community

Service-learning is a method of teaching, learning, and reflecting that combines academic classroom curriculum with meaningful service that meets actual needs in the community.

According to the Association of the American Colleges & Universities (AAC&U), service-learning increases understanding of classroom content, critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, communication skills, and much more. Through the National Association of Colleges & Employers, we know these are the same skills employers are seeking from recent college graduates. Ä¢¹½TV cares deeply about each student as well as the communities in which they will soon live.

The Ä¢¹½TV service-learning requirement also sets students up with an advantage through these experiences that often puts them above other candidates when applying to jobs and graduate schools. At the same time, Ä¢¹½TV graduates leave with a deeper understanding and level of positive engagement in the world around them.
