This past week, the University of Southern Mississippi joined thousands of educational institutions across the country taking part in Learn and Serve Challenge Week to raise awareness of the benefits of service-learning…

…The impact of service-learning is enormous. Campus Compact, a coalition of more than 1,000 college and university presidents dedicated to serving the public good, has seen student service soar as campuses make service-learning and other forms of community engagement a priority.

I have seen that this work is bringing hope to one generation, which in turn will help future generations."
