College of Journalism: Publicity as service-learning

University of Georgia - GA, Georgia

Service-learning activities can provide a number of opportunities for students to interview and learn from members of the community. The results of these interactions can, in turn, be used as publicity for service-learning. Melinda Hawley, a faculty member at the University of Georgia College of Journalism, taught her students journalism skills by asking them to interview and research service activities on campus and in the community. The students work was then put together in a magazine that was published by the university and used to spread the word about service-learning.
