FAll 2011 Service-learning classes

Students enjoy and value courses that incorporate service-learning because they apply academic content in real-world situations, making a difference in the communities in which we live. In fall 2011, students can choose from a wide range of service-learning classes, from first-year introductory classes to junior/senior-level major classes across a wide range of disciplines.

For more information about any of these classes, contact the professor or Ms. Christina Poteet, director of service-learning.
