News & Updates
The Service Learning Advisory Committee has been continuing work this semester to develop a proposal for a change in our student service commitment. Currently students are required to complete 100 hours of direct service and an extended service project reflection in order to graduate. We began the process of examining whether this was still the best way to measure student engagement in the community as part of our triad through focus groups and surveys last spring. Based on that feedback, the committee worked on a proposal that includes a focus on deeper experiences we want students to have rather than just on hours and we asked for feedback on that in October. For each discussion we have attended caucus, held open meetings and talked to our community partners. We have completed a final round of feedback in February and now we are ready to pass our proposal along to forum and caucus for approval. Below you will find a copy of the proposal as well as several supporting documents to help everyone understand this new model better. Please talk with a member of SLAC if you have questions.
