The Coordinator of Service-Learning, assisted by campus members of the AmeriCorps Student Service Leadership Corps, is dedicated to the development of the pedagogy across campus. With such ends in mind, the following is an abbreviated list of the services provided by the Service-Learning Program:

• Organize programming that further educates the College community about service-learning.
• Provide resources for individual faculty members who wish to learn more about the pedagogy.
• Identify community needs that relate to the academic goals of a course, and can be met by its students.
• Initiate relationships with community partners, and serve as a liaison between the College and the community, where appropriate.
• Set up the service component for the students and community partner(s).
• Assist with reflections and evaluation related to the service-learning component of a course
