The first in a series of Service Learning Workshops was held on Friday, Feb 15. Led by Charles Crowell, our new service learning coordinator, the workshop was attended by 6 participants. A timeline showing differenct concepts of service learning was shown, which indicated that there has been an evolution from volunteerism, to civil engagement, to service learning as an integrated, experiential component of a student’s course or program process. A lively discussion ensued about what we can expect in our service learning approaches, how to engage students, and how to integrate service learning in our curricula. A second workshop, scheduled for Friday, March 7, 12:15 – 1:30pm, will focus on concrete examples or service learning from colleges around the country, and a discussion of mini-grant possibilities for service learning projects.
