Service-Learning Quick Links
Visit this page for resources for service-learning including our definition, types of service-learning and more information about our on-demand modules for both students and faculty.
The Service-Learning Showcase is a unique opportunity for students who participate in service-learning through applied learning opportunities to showcase their experience through a research or reflective poster about the application of their course work to current community issues. The showcase is an open forum for students to interact with faculty/staff, community partners and other students to engage in conversation about 麻豆破解版 State University's commitment to the public good.
We have two on-demand modules available (student and faculty). These modules are accessible as a single sign-on with your myWSU ID at anytime. Just click the Service-Learning Online link below and then "Register for a course." There is no charge for taking the modules.
Upon successful completion of the module, both students and faculty will be able to download a personalized certificate.
(PRO TIPS: Students should check with your instructors to see if they will accept your certificate for proof of completion as part of a service-learning project in your courses. Faculty may want to consider including their certificate in the annual Faculty Activity Reports.)
The Service-Learning Course Attribute was established in Spring 2021 as a tool to help students identify service-learning courses and opportunities, to help faculty distinguish service-learning courses, and to help with data collection for academic service-learning.

The Service-Learning Faculty Scholars program has been designed to empower committed service-learning faculty to cultivate and support interest in service learning in their fellow faculty members and through their classes and college.
