Service Learning
A course-based, credit bearing educational experience in which students
• Participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community goals
• Reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility
(Bringle & Hatcher, 1997)
