The Community Service Learning Community

Colleges are mainly seen as just an
environment for learning, getting grades, graduating, and then getting the title of being a college graduate. We learned that the college experience is a whole lot more than that, and that our future jobs are going to look at more than just the classes we took over the years and the grades that we made in those classes, but also how we were involved in different aspects of 'college life' outside of our academics.

The Community Service Learning Community (CSLC) is a one year program for first year students who are planning to live off-campus AND have an interest in community service. This interdisciplinary, non-residential learning community draws on the ideals of service learning, which combine volunteer efforts with academic study. Students in this learning community will have opportunities to make a difference by volunteering in the local community, form relationships with students on and off-campus, and learn about community and campus resources.

I think this class has given me the opportunity to learn about myself. It has helped me to open up and really talk to other people. I have really enjoyed this class and I can't wait for next semester.

Only 22 students will be selected to participate in the program and will have the opportunity to form study groups, attend social events and interact with other resident and non-resident Learning Community students. You will enroll in a blocked schedule of classes with other Learning Community Students that will include: English 1101, Math 1100 and Freshman Seminar during the Fall Semester and English 1102 and Citizenship and Service Practicum during the Spring Semester.
