Meredith College Service-Learning Mission Statement: As a campus-community partnership, Service Learning engages Meredith students, faculty, staff, and diverse communities by integrating intentional service opportunities into the academic curriculum in order to respond to community needs. Service Learning aims to benefit students’ education, further faculty research and teaching, cultivate civic responsibility and lifelong learning, and foster community-campus collaborations

We remember 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, 30% of what we see; however, we remember 90% of what we both say and do. The process of active experience combined with talking and thinking about what we did and learned from the activity results in learning that sticks! Service-learning combines the best of active learning and citizenship by connecting classroom learning with service projects that help the community.
