Community Service-Learning

Community Service-Learning (CSL) offers students opportunities to work in meaningful ways with local community organizations as part of their studies. This allows them to engage with their learning through a fresh perspective and reflect on the relationships between theory and practice. This helps to boost academic engagement with course material and makes learning come alive.
