The Office of Community Engagement at 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ helps students, faculty and staff create “purposeful lives and meaningful serviceâ€� and to live out the mission of the university to educate students by providing “opportunities for servant leadership and community engagement, with emphasis on underserved communities,â€� while students “develop moral courage, social sensitivity and ethical responsibility.â€�ÌýÌý
We believe that learning through service and community engagement has the potential to heighten a student’s “moral courage, social sensitivity, and ethical responsibilityâ€�; however, service may also reinforce power dynamics, abuse resources, impose hardship on communities, and damage relationships if performed with the wrong approach or in the wrong spirit.Ìý

“A form of experiential education where learning occurs through a cycle of action and reflection as students. . . seek to achieve real objectives for the community and deeper understanding and skills for themselves. In the process, students link personal and social development with academic and cognitive development. . . experience enhances understanding; understanding leads to more effective action.” -Janet S. Eyler
