Reflections from Professor Schellhas

The philanthropy component to the course was a rare and special opportunity for our students. As we worked with the three non-profits in our service-learning course, being put into the position to assess each non-profit and thoughtfully award funds, gave students a perspective that they could not have gotten otherwise. As students may work with non-profits or apply for grants in the future, this will enlighten them on the value and decision-making behind awards.

Reflections from Students

My student philanthropy experience was a great experience overall! I had a great time working with the non-profit the ION Violence Prevention Center and learning most of the aspects of their businesses. As my team and I worked to provide the ION Center with some student work, I feel that we learned a lot not only about the non-profit itself, but also the information and morals that they stand by. I feel that this specific experience is something every student should go about doing whether that be to gain experience working with clientele or just to learn more about the community around them.
