Spring 2020 Events
Service-Learning Foundations and Next Steps
Friday, January 31 | 12-1:30 p.m. | Corbin Education Center 155
Presenter: Dr. Chelsea Redger-Marquardt, Assistant Teaching Professor/Director for
Honors Service-Learning and Leadership Academy
Please join us for the first Lunch and Learn of 2020! During this session, we will
discuss foundational concepts of service-learning, explore the NYLC Service-Learning
Standards for Quality Practice, and look at a best practice example as a possible
model for the College of Applied Studies. If you are new to service-learning this
session will give you a quick foundational overview. If you have been practicing
service-learning we want to hear from you and gain your thoughts and insights on the
best practice model presented. Resources will be provided. We hope this conversation
will be the first of many about strengthening connections and building new partnerships
through meaningful curriculum with our community.
