Mission
Service-Learning at Centenary University creates a climate for experiential learning by facilitating service opportunities in the classroom to reinforce academic learning outcomes and promote a culture of service and engagement.
What is Service-Learning?
While service-learning and other forms of community engagement are important to the culture of our campus, service-learning stands out in one important way: the service is directly related to course content. This will help students make real life connections between their classroom work and the needs of the community, turning academic work into a meaningful way to contribute to the broader society.
