Capstone courses

Cabrini College - PA, Pennsylvania

Students at Cabrini College in Radnor, Pennsylvania, cap off their core studies with one of fifteen service-learning seminars taken as they complete their requirements in their junior year. Each seminar offers a different way of approaching the common good through a different discipline. But all fifteen seminars include a community-based component and give students the opportunity through reflection to connect their individual service experiences with seminar readings.


From Service Matters 1998: Engaging Higher Education In the Renewal of America s Communities and American Democracy

The experience of interacting with some of the [homeless] people on the streets was an eye-opener. You leave those types of experiences with a mix of emotions--hope, disgust, love, grief--but I always leave motivated to do more."
