We offer a number of service-learning related professional development opportunities and events every semester for faculty, staff, students, and community partners. On campus we collaborate with The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology in a range of activities including workshops, forums, and learning communities. Visit the following links for upcoming events and our archive of previous events.

Service-Learning Faculty Focus Series
Ongoing Event
These discussion based programs feature faculty talking about their service-learning courses and experiences working with all aspects of service-learning and civic engagement.

Community Partnership Forums
Ongoing Event
These discussion-based programs bring community partners to campus to talk about their work as well as the needs of their organization and clients. These sessions are designed to assist faculty, staff, and students in learning more about potential issues, needs, and partners in the community and to stimulate creative thinking about service-learning courses.

Service-Learning Workshops and Lectures  
Ongoing Event
Throughout the year we offer professional development opportunities for faculty, staff, students, and community partners. Themes of the workshops and lectures range from an introduction to service-learning and civic engagement to intensive explorations of service-learning course design strategies.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Challenge
Monday, January 17, 2011
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spent his life working toward the dream of equality. When Martin Luther King Day was declared a national holiday, Congress declared a "day on" doing service, rather than a day off. The Martin Luther King Day Service Challenge is a day spent to transform Dr. King's ideals into service for the community, addressing social needs.
