Service-learning is a teaching pedagogy that brings NC State’s mission to the classroom.  As a form of ‘Engaged Learning’, service-learning is shown to strengthen student academic learning, increase multiple dimensions of  personal development, strengthen career preparation, and deepen civic engagement. 

Faculty at NC State who use service-learning report great satisfaction in the energy and enlightenment that comes to the teaching-learning experience of their classes.

The Office of Outreach & Engagement is investing in expanding the number of service-learning faculty and courses at NC State and invite applications for the new Community Engaged Learning Institute.

The Community Engaged Learning Institute will:

• Share a day of training during a community engaged learning institute on August 13, 2019;
•  Be part of a faculty cohort with an experienced faculty mentor throughout 2019-20 as they work on plans for a course (existing or new) designed to implement service-learning;
• Be matched with a trained service-learning student teaching assistant; and
• Implement a course incorporating service-learning between January and December 2020.
