Service-Learning
Service-Learning is a specially designed learning experience in which students combine reflection with structured participation in community-based projects to achieve specified learning outcomes as part of an academic course and/or program requirement.

Examples of Service-Learning
Service-learning can happen, for example, when:
- in a speech course, you research, write, and deliver a speech to raise money for a clean water agency
- in a journalism course, you interview residents at a homeless shelter and write an article about them for publication
- in a pre-health course, you work in a clinic and reflect on that experience
- in a web design course, you design a new website for a tutoring center
