Service and Service-Learning Subcommittee

Broadly defined, service is a faculty member's commitment to the community, which includes, but is not limited to: academic, professional, governmental, local, national, international and cultural communities.

Service is:

the enhancement of knowledge and information
assistance through interactive planning and growth of knowledge, concepts, skills or affective relationships
resources identified as useful to the stability of the community at large.

Also included is support for on-going projects that have long term need for growth and development expertise, as well as the support of national and international endeavors that may be procured and applied to local problems and needs. Service endeavors are not considered service and service-learning if the activity is performed as part of an established full or part-time employment condition.
