Schedule an In-Class Presentation: We are available to come speak to your class about the impact of service learning on their learning experience and professional development. Presentations are tailored to your subject and with you to motivate your students.

Arrange a Service Learning Think Tank: At the request of a department or faculty, we will hold a project think-tank for those are interested in exploring new types of projects and models of service learning, or for those who would like to brainstorm ideas for projects for large groups of students. In addition, we offer to facilitate brainstorming sessions for student-driven projects; these sessions require a minimum of a two hour commitment on the part of the students, either in one or two blocks.

Access Service Learning Research and Evaluation: As faculty, it is essential that your goals be supported when incorporating experiential learning into any curriculum. To reinforce your efforts, we will disseminate research supporting the effectiveness of this type of activity as well as tools for evaluation and assessment.

Students are now responsible for reporting their own service hours. An email will be sent to you toward the end of each semester (or, at intervals of your request) with all data reported by students in your course for your approval. No service learning notation will be made on any student transcript without a faculty verification of service.

Faculty members are responsible for coordination of events directly relating to or promoting service learning projects for their classes; or, for designating responsible students to coordinate activities/events. Assistance will be provided by Center for Democracy & Humanity staff as available.

Fagan Forhan is available Monday – Thursday by appointment to discuss service learning support available to MWCC faculty through the Center. This support is highly collaborative and tailored to the needs and interests of specific faculty members. Consultation is beneficial to both seasoned SL facilitators and those looking to incorporate something new into their courses. Support is available to full-time faculty and adjunct instructors.
