Service-Learning at Marian University
In keeping with the commitments of Marian University to both serve the community of Fond du Lac in meaningful ways and to provide exceptional educational opportunities for students, Marian is proud to offer Service-Learning.
What is Service-Learning?
Service-Learning is defined as, “a teaching and learning approach that integrates community service with academic study to enrich learning, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.” Service Learning pairs faculty with area organizations who are able to offer valuable real world experience through participation in thoughtfully organized service experiences which are defined, planned, implemented and coordinated collaboratively by students, faculty, staff, and the community.
Components of Service-Learning:
- Education and service to the community are combined through a credit-bearing course.
- The service activity must meet an identified community need.
- Through student reflection about the service provided, understanding of course content and respect for others enhances a sense of civic responsibility.
