The Civic and Community Engagement Office (CCE) has created a series of five 15-minute videos offering an overview of the theory and practice of community-engaged learning and service learning. These videos offer insight, methods, and research-based practices for implementing high-quality community engagement experiences in your classroom. Beginning with new spring 2019 service-learning designation requests, faculty members must participate in a service-learning training. If you haven't participated in an introductory workshop, service-learning faculty fellows, or other training with the CCE, these new videos will be a good way to get started.
