While some students engage in academic service-learning, which combines meaningful community service opportunities with selected courses, others participate in Alternative Breaks, Greek philanthropies, service-oriented clubs and groups, and community service work-study opportunities. Each term, the college offers academic service-learning courses that will allow you to apply your classroom to a real-life situation in the community. By applying your new knowledge through service with others, you will learn the material more quickly while reflecting on the service, and it will stay with you longer. Moreover, it is more fun.
