This program enlists the most skilled and experienced

students, administrators and community partners for service-learning.
Consultants assist faculty with introducing service-learning as a pedagogy,
creating community partnerships, redesigning courses, devising strategies
to develop students' skills and capacities, and developing service-learning
research programs. Consultants also assist administrators and community
service directors with setting up campus-wide service-learning programs,
building campus infrastructure for service-learning, offering faculty
development in service-learning and promoting the benefits of service-learning.
