Theme Housing: SERVE (Students Engaging and Responding through Volunteer Experiences)

Through direct service, students are engaged with the local community and witness first-hand the relevant barriers and issues community members face. Theory is used to supplement the individual experience as both a tool for providing educational/social/local context as well as a catalyst for deepened learning. In particular, concepts of community, servant leadership, and citizenship will be unpacked and examined. To intentionally integrate theory and experience, both group process and individual reflection are used throughout the course. Rich community interaction, relevant and challenging readings, and an open forum for assembling the experience will drive SERVE students to develop and act on personal action plans for community engagement.
