Service Learning

NKU puts a high priority on learning that goes beyond textbooks and lectures.

Service learning builds a bridge between classroom and community.

A good way to think of service learning is to think of a project. Perhaps a local museum needs research for an exhibit. Meanwhile, a history professor wants to teach students how to research and write local history. Working as partners, the museum and the class produce the exhibit.

Always the test for service learning is whether a proposed project aligns with the learning outcomes of the class.

The Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement supports service learning at NKU.
