Service-Learning Scholars

Norwich University - VT, Vermont

The Norwich Service-Learning Scholars, comprised of a team of students, are committed to amplifying and promoting student voice in the integration of community needs and university curriculum.

The Scholars undergo a competitive selection process and, once selected, are under contract for one year. They speak with profesors, students, and student groups, they promote service-learning through campus media, flyers, advertisements, and the SL newsletter, and they represent service-learning students on the Service-Learning Initiatives Committee.

They receive an intensive one-day training in service-learning, meet bi-monthly as a team, work office hours in the Service-Learning Program, and arrange for guest speakers on campus for their own professional development as well as that of other students. They also speak with campuses and groups interested in service-learning and their program, such as at the Vermont Campus Compact Student Leadership Conference. There they presented a workshop on “”Student Leadership in Service-Learning.”"
