What is academic service learning?
Academic service learning is a specific pedagogy that integrates academic coursework with service which meets a community-identified need. The partnerships between the community, students, and faculty are mutual, which means that all partners benefit and share responsibility. This process of experiential learning and community-building includes academic coursework, guided service, and facilitated reflection that deepen the experience for all partners. Please see our quick reference guide to service learning for a brief introduction to service learning.
As a new online resource for faculty, we welcome your comments and suggestions. To provide feedback and suggestions for this website, please contact jonesval@gvsu.edu.
