Service-learning adds new dimension to student, faculty life
Dr. Jane Rosser |
Explore, inspire, achieve—the key words in the new marketing campaign launched by the University this fall also “fit perfectly” with the philosophy of service-learning, says Dr. Jane Rosser, director of the newly created Office of Service-Learning.
“Service-learning really gets into the question of how to be a citizen in a democratic society,” Rosser said. As part of President Sidney Ribeau’s Engaged University initiative, “it is part of the continuum of ways in which we’d like our students to engage with the community and provides a context for them to ask the bigger questions about citizenship,” she said.
Beyond benefiting the community, participating in service-learning also greatly benefits students by giving them the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning. “We know that we learn more by doing,” Rosser said. One of the core ideas is to “use service-learning to more effectively deliver the course content. This is a different way of teaching,” she added.
