Support for Students

How does the Service Learning Department support Students?

  • Provides opportunities that complement what is taught in the classroom
  • Makes them aware of opportunities for transportation (including carpooling)
  • Finds alternative sites for those students who are unable to commit to the site of which they are originally signed to.
  • Monitors hours throughout the semester
  • Communicates with community partners when there is difficulty starting a project
  • Communicates with community partners when there are student concerns and successes throughout the semester.
  • Provides trainings and educational opportunities that will enhance student performance in projects (Cooperative Games Training and Mentor Training)
  • Facilitates reflection sessions in and outside of class.
  • Creates an awareness of expectations in regards to service learning (through initial presentations and on-going communication throughout the semester).
  • Arranges for community partners to hold interviews on campus and attend on-campus reflections
