Part 1: Faculty Member & Course Information
Service-Learning refers to a type of curriculum that intentionally integrates learning with community service in a credit-bearing academic course. Students participate in an authentic service activity, which meets needs identified by the community (designed within the framework of a mutually benefical relationship) and then they critically reflect on that activity. Thus, students gain a deep understanding of course content, a commitment to socially responsible citizenship, and develop skills and understanding needed to contribute to civic well-being.
Any faculty/department desiring to offer a service-learning course designated as fulfilling a student’s Experiential Learning (ELI) requirement must complete the following form. Course proposals are due by September 1 for spring and January 10 for fall.
IMPORTANT: Please allow approximately 20-30 minutes when completing the proposal. Once you begin the form, it will need to be completed in its entirety as you cannot “save” and continue at a later date. Please be prepared to answer questions regarding the content, service, reflection and ELI components of your course proposal. Please also have a PDF of your course syllabus readily available.
