The Buffalo State Pedagogical Institute will present Service Learning in the First and Second Year on Thursday, May 19, at 9:30 a.m. in Bacon Hall 115. Service learning and other high-impact practices have demonstrated benefits for college students from many backgrounds. Incorporating successful service-learning activities for first- and second-year students, however, can look very different than it does in an upper-division course. This interactive session for faculty will focus on strategies for successful community-based projects focused on first- and second-year students. Topics will include an overview of the theory and practice of service learning, data and research on service learning with first- and second-year students, and support considering approaches to community-based learning for your particular course.

Register for this session.
