What is Service-Learning?
Service-learning is high-impact, hands-on learning where students apply academic knowledge and skills through real-world service experiences that benefit the community. Students reflect on the service activity to deepen their understanding of course content, gain a broader appreciation of the discipline, and foster active community engagement.
