Philadelphia University appreciates the opportunity to work with community agencies and views community agencies as critical partners in the learning process. Much of a successful service-learning course, volunteer activity, and/or internship depends on the quality of the service experience. Community partners are essential to helping to frame and guide that experience, adding real-world expertise and exposure to the theories about which students are learning.
