Description
Liberal arts education provides a wonderful platform for introducing students to the concept of civic engagement with both co-curricular activities and teaching strategies. One such teaching strategy is Service-Learning which integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. Service-Learning is an experiential learning opportunity that encourages students to engage directly with the local community. This panel discussion will highlight current Service-Learning courses being offered at BSU and the many beneficial outcomes that inure to the three primary stakeholders of a Service-Learning opportunity – students, community partners, and faculty. BSU faculty have been teaching Service-Learning courses for many years and we now have 20 unique S-L designated courses spanning a wide variety of disciplines and benefiting hundreds of BSU students and community partners.
