Description
Many students graduate from college with no idea about what to do with the knowledge they just spent four years acquiring. However, for years service learning has provided a way for students to apply the knowledge they learn in the classroom to a "real-world" setting. Students who have participated in service learning activities have an opportunity to enhance both their professional development and civic engagement. Based on our research and experience, problem-solving, teamwork, and self-confidence were key developmental areas perceived to be of value to students who participated in a service learning project.
