Service Learning
Service-learning is a form of community engaged learning that explicitly connects academic courses with civic engagement, which includes individual and collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern, and to make a difference in the civic life of our communities. It is intended to enhance students sense of personal responsibility to participate in the public realm to address current pressing social problems, and thus going beyond the academic or skill-based goals of the course.
The key components of service-learning are:
(1) It enhances the understanding of course content and is tied to specific learning goals through consciously designed reflection.
(2) It develops a reciprocal relationship through which the experiential activities are planned and implemented through a collaboration with a community partner so that they meet needs specifically identified by that partner.
The service-learning courses are identified if they have 'SLCC' and 'CEL' attributes.
This is an academic year metric (Summer+ Fall+ Spring).
Academic year has 3 terms (summer, fall, Spring) and the data for each term is at the latest benchmark.
Data Source: Banner
Refresh Schedule: Data is refreshed once for every semester at the preliminary benchmark. "Data as of " indicates when the data is extracted from Banner.
