Service learning allows students to link their classroom learning to “real-life” experiences in the community. At its best, service learning has been shown to improve student learning, address community needs, facilitate public debate and dialogue, and create a campus that partners with its community. Each semester more and more CSUCI students are involved in an array of service learning courses , allowing them to work on community issues and needs.To learn more about the types of service projects and contributions CSUCI students are making to the community please enjoy a walk through our virtual service learning museum.
