  2. Service Learning • Service-learning is a credit-bearing, educational experience in which students: 1) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified on- and off-campus community needs and 2) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility http://www.byui.edu/ServiceLearning/subpages/fgdefinition.htm

  3. Benefits of Service Learning • STUDENTS in service-learning classes can benefit academically, professionally, and personally. These are just a few of the ways: Increase your understanding of the class topic • Gain hands-on experience (possibly leading to an internship or job later) • Explore or cement your values and beliefs • Have opportunities to act on your values and beliefs • Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills • Grow your understanding of diverse cultures and communities • Learn more about social issues and their root causes http://www.servicelearning.umn.edu/info/benefits.html

  4. Benefits of Service Learning • Improve your ability to handle ambiguity and be open to change; become more flexible • Develop or enhance your skills, especially in the areas of communication, collaboration, and leadership • Test out your skills, interests, and values in a potential career path, or learn more about a field that interests you • Connect with professionals and community members who you will learn from • Grow a professional network of people you might connect with again later for jobs or internships • Satisfy your urge toward public service or civic participation http://www.servicelearning.umn.edu/info/benefits.html

  5. My Experience • I filled divots at Kindrelou Forrest Golf Club, with my teammates on the Valdosta State golf team. We filled them a couple times this Semester, also during the Nationwide Tour’s South Georgia Classic.
