Service Learning
The Department of Service Learning provides guidance and assistance to hundreds of students who engage in short- and long-term service-learning projects in one of °®½´ÊÓƵ’s three partner communities (Seneca Babcock, the West Side, Broadway Fillmore) or at other °®½´ÊÓƵ sponsored service placements. Within these urban, disadvantaged neighborhoods, students serve, learn, and gain the leadership, cross-cultural, and communication skills necessary to become civic-minded individuals prepared to contribute and participate in a democratic society.

°®½´ÊÓƵ College has received an unprecedented $1 million gift from the Paul A. Saffrin Foundation to support the institution’s Center for Sustainable Communities and Civic Engagement, making it the largest private gift in the college’s nearly 70-year history.
Elizabeth Renner: Dominican Republic
Elizabeth Renner found herself in a small village in the Dominican Republic unable to speak the language, unfamiliar with local customs, and without her family. And yet she felt confident and prepared to tackle her service learning commitment through °®½´ÊÓƵ’s Study Abroad Program.
