Past Workshops

Lasting Learning Through Service-Learning

Each faculty member approaches classes with the hope that what is taught will be remembered beyond the test. Unfortunately, there are far too many examples of short-term memory and long- term forgetting. This workshop will provide those who attend the opportunity to explore how service- learning, community engagement and other experiential learning approaches increase the likelihood that learning will have a long-term personal, professional and community impact.
