Faculty Benefits

Research shows that students learn by doing. When students integrate course content with real-world activities they retain more of what they have learned.

When you integrate service-learning in your courses you will:

• experience teachable moments;
• promote information synthesis;
• create another modality for learning course concepts;
• reinforce course objectives in a real-world setting;
• instill civic responsibility;
• encourage students to explore diverse populations; and
• improve student satisfaction and retention.
