Academic Service-Learning
Academic service-learning is a pedagogy that provides experiential opportunities for students for learning by engaging the students in structured, service activities. Academic service-learning benefits both the student and the community. It benefits the student because the service activity is designed so that it connects directly to the course objectives, thus becoming a hands-on learning experience. Academic service-learning benefits the community by providing service which addresses an identified need. Of course the entire university community benefits from the opportunity to strengthen its relationship with the surrounding community.
