“It is unethical to move into a community and provide a service without understanding that community, in fact, it is no service at all.”- Dr. Frances L. O’Neil
Why Choose Service Learning?Learning through action provides an opportunity to explore a life-changing service that benefits the student and community. Applying classroom knowledge in real-world scenarios offers both professional and academic recognition to students for their services. Students who have become more active in community issues found a clear direction for their education and career.
