What is the role of the Service-Learning Center and its personnel?
The role of the Service-Learning Center and its personnel is to support faculty members who are engaged in or wish to engage in Service-Learning. Thus, the Service-Learning Center primarily facilitates the implementation of the service side of the pedagogy. But the Center can also facilitate the learning side by offering students further opportunities to critically reflect on their service experiences in a multi-dimensional/multi-disciplinary way. Further, the Center can provide service-learning specific counseling and direction for students that can significantly affect issues such as retention and success. The Center also serves as a liaison between the faculty member, institution, community agencies, and the student.
