The Center for Career Development and Service Learning provides a variety of resources and services for students, faculty, and our community partners.  Listed below is an explanation of the resources and services available to faculty. 

Consultation and Site Referral

We can help you develop service learning projects for your courses and/or help locate community agencies whose services relate to curricular goals (locally and internationally).  We can provide you with ideas for creative preparation and reflection activities which help students think critically about the services they are providing.

 

Consultation with Students

We can help your students locate individual and group service learning opportunities that match their interests and help them meet their project goals.   This includes development of non-profit cooperative education experiences.  Encourage your students to stop by the Center for Career Development and Service Learning for more information.

 

Classroom Presentations

We can identify community partners to speak to your class about social justice issues.  We can help you lead a group reflection discussion.

 

Service Learning Information

Would you like more information about service learning?  We maintain a resource library that includes recent service learning literature, books, and sample syllabi.  We also maintain a service learning website, along with a list of service learning courses that are offered by Winthrop University each semester.   The Service Learning program hosts faculty service learning roundtable discussions periodically for informal networking, idea sharing, and training.

We are here for you!   Please call or come by!
