Merith Weisman, the director of Community Engagement and Strategic Initiatives, presented about service-learning pedagogy and trends in academic and civic learning, community relationships, and reflective activities.

“It’s so simple, I finally understand where service-learning fits in the bigger web of community engagement. I kept hearing people use service-learning and community engagement interchangeably, and was somewhat confused - now I get it!

This workshop happens every year, so keep an eye out for next fall.
