Earn College Credit with Service-Learning
SVL 101: Introduction to Service-Learning is a course that introduces students to service-learning through engagement in a defined service project within a community. Students will examine their own various identities as it relates to service (for example: identity as a student, a community member, a citizen); learn about the importance of service, and carry out a service project. At the conclusion of the project, students will critically reflect and respond to their experience. Because the experience(s) offered will change each semester, SVL 101 may be repeated up to 3 times with a different experience.
There are two ways to enroll:
- Browse the online schedule to find open enrollment courses.
- Contact your advisor or a faculty member to enroll in an independent study.
