Curriculum Service Learning
Each semester, many faculty members elect to teach Academic Service Learning classes. These classes allow students meaningful opportunities to work in the community doing service work while learning course content. Faculty members may choose to send students to ASLC events to obtain service hours or coordinate their own projects. Students gain real-world experience and receive an Academic Service Learning Endorsement on their transcript. Video of Student Testimonial
