Service Learning
Service Learning is a teaching method that promotes student learning through active participation in meaningful and planned service experience in the community that is directly related to the course content. This method is primarily used in the Honors Program. Through reflective activities, students enhance their understanding of course content, general knowledge, sense of civic responsibility, self-awareness and commitment to the community.
