"Service-learning classes taught me that my service to the community can become a beneficial learning experience. The academic component was important because it helped me to really reflect and learn from my experiences rather than just going through the motions of volunteering."
University of Minnesota - College of Liberal Arts, 2003
"Rather than running around between classes, work, meetings, and my community site feeling incredibly disjointed, I was able to integrate my academic and civic interests through service learning."
University of Minnesota - College of Liberal Arts, 2001
"In class I developed a comprehensive understanding of theories behind my community work, while my site activities gave life and meaning to these same theories.
University of Minnesota - College of Liberal Arts, 2002
"My service-learning experience opened me up to many new ideas, experiences, and people. Not only have I made a positive contribution to my community, but I have learned more about myself and my abilities. My service-learning experience has also played a larger role in shaping my career goals by giving me the basis to explore the kind of work I want to pursue in the future."
Renee Richie, B.A. University of Minnesota, 1999
"Service-learning has given me the opportunity to give theory value and significance outside of the classroom. Through service-learning, I have had to keep my books and mind open indefinitely. This is one of the most important lessons to be learned in life."
Heather Anne Cardinale, B.A. University of Minnesota, 2000
"My service-learning courses through the Sociology department have allowed me to put to use my major in Sociology and my minor in Spanish while doing community work at the Jane Addams School for Democracy. These courses have given me the opportunity to compare and contrast my experiences in the community with my course work and the books I read, therefore making my learning more relevant."
James Tucker, University of Minnesota, 2000
"Learning about others teaches you to learn about yourself, how you interact with others and where you fit into a community and the world. It also helps you to find your identity as it is in relation to others."
University of Minnesota, 2001
"Community Service-Learning has the ability to provide students with hands-on learning opportunities, broaden their awareness of social issues, and foster a sense of civic responsibility and social justice."
Dr. Ralph Leonard, University of Minnesota, Medical School 1997
