The Center for Service-Learning
Service-learning is a teaching approach integrating academic instruction with community service that engages students in civic responsibility, critical and creative thinking, and structured reflection.
- "The research papers written by the students doing service-learning in Asian American Literature were stunning."
-Doug Sugano; English Professor
- "The level of classroom discourse in the Gender and Politics course rose significantly because of our involvement in the community each week."
-Julia Stronks; Political Science Professor
- "Although I took tests and gave reports on Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs' theory, I never fully understood this theory until I met a little homeless boy at the YWCA who needed breakfast and a warm sweatshirt before he could study."
-Kara Rohrer; Education Student
- "Student and faculty involvement in service-learning reinforces in tangible ways Whitworth's commitment to be a good and responsible citizen of the world. Whether classes are planting trees, conducting a sociological survey for an inner-city neighborhood, or leading drama workshops for mentally ill adults, their service-learning experiences enhance academics and provide a way to live out Whitworth’s mission to 'honor God, follow Christ, and serve humanity'."
-Bill Robinson; Whitworth President
- "He has shown thee, O man, what is good; and what the LORD requires of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
-Micah 6:8
