KS (10/5/2007)
Students who want to become more involved in the community can earn college credit for their efforts. In correlation with the Center for Service Learning, faculty and students participate in group activities that examine problems in communities.
Students then work to help solve those problems by doing a variety of tasks, going on alternative breaks or becoming a volunteer. Students can also become certified in service learning.
I have always had a drive to serve others and work for the common good. But I never fully realized that I could go beyond volunteerism--that my opinion and hard work could influence policy decisions. My views changed when I sat in the office of one of my legislators in Washington, DC.
