Community-Engaged Learning integrates meaningful community engagement with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. Students apply knowledge and skills from the classroom to the real world in an effort to address community-identified needs. Through this process, students and faculty create mutually beneficial relationships that improve learning, prompt meaningful classroom reflection and discussion, and support the public good.
