Information that you may find helpful as you consider submitting your proposal:

Service learning is part of the UIW effort for students to learn civic responsibility and to make volunteer service a life-long commitment.

While all students need to do "community service" before graduating, service learning is more than that.

It is:

  1. required in a class or a program
  2. done to better understand course content
  3. done out of concern for the well-being of the community, and
  4. students are learning how to reflect, find meaning in their lives, and keep engaged for the future

When writing your Faculty Self Inventory, please remember that service learning is valued and should be documented on Sedona. The directions are posted on BlackBoard in the Faculty Repository site with the title "Intro Service Learning Code in Sedona."
