Service-Learning Packet for Faculty

The Service-Learning Packet is a toolkit for faculty who are integrating service-learning into their curriculum. It provides both theoretical and practical tips, and includes many forms that will be useful during the planning and implementation of a service-learning course. We encourage faculty to download and use these forms.
