Integrating The Classroom With The Community
Abstract: Learn how Philadelphia University, in just one year, developed and offered SERVE-101, a course-based introduction to civic engagement that coaches students in the development of their own individualized semester-long service learning projects. Attendees will gain a new model for incorporating civic engagement experiences into their already-crowded curricula and will see how the concept of “civic professionalism” can make service learning a component in the liberal education of students in professional programs.
