The Office of Service-Learning was created in September 2006 as the result of the report of the President’s Committee on Service-Learning, which met during the academic year 2005-2006, and submitted its formal report in the summer of 2006.  As a result of the report, President Ribeau created an Office of Service-Learning reporting jointly to the Provost and to the Dean of Arts and Sciences.  Dr. Jane Rosser was appointed as the first Director on September 1, 2006.
