While the office of Community Service Learning works actively to expand the use of service-learning as a teaching pedagogy at Philadelphia University, there is a strong history of using service-learning in the classroom that should be recognized. In fact, the practice of using service-learning is a teaching tool to develop civic minded professionals is a key element of the University’s signature learning, described as “active, collaborative, and real-word.”
Examples of service-learning at Philadelphia University include:
- Occupational Therapy and Industrial Design Students Collaborate on Devices for Disabled Clients
- PhilaU Receives 'University Green' Grant; Launches Campus Tree Tenders Chapter
- Interior Design Students Unveil New Entertainment Room for Ailing Youth
- Interior Design Students turn dream room into reality for ailing Elkins Park girl
