Center for Service Learning
and Community Engagement
Purpose Statement:
The Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement promotes development of the values and skills of citizenship among CF students by enabling faculty members to create projects that integrate course-related student learning objectives with thoughtfully organized service opportunities. These projects meet community needs while fostering intensified learning and academic persistence among students.
Values and skills of citizenship:
- Developing sensitivity to the needs of others in communities, both local and global
- Understanding one’s responsibility to be connected to the community and engaged in addressing problems, finding solutions, and meeting needs
- Building a lasting desire to contribute time and effort to work in harmony with fellow-citizens toward improving the condition of all members of the community
- Appreciating one’s own value to the community when collaborating with fellow-citizens toward a worthwhile goal
Integrate course-related student learning objectives with thoughtfully organized service:
- One or more learning objectives of the course will be fulfilled by serving,
writing thoughtful reflections on what was learned by serving, and then
sharing one’s reflections with others - The community needs addressed by the service, the conditions and duration
of service, and its integration with the academic content of the course will be
sufficient to advance the development of citizenship values and skills.
