Faculty

Faculty members have the opportunity to encourage your students to engage in service opportunities in our community. Below are helpful tips on community service/service learning make advising easier.

Community Service

If your student organization/department is sponsoring a community service event that is 3-5 hours, you can submit an application to have that project count toward their Christian Service Program requirement.
Event request
Email this to the Christian Service director two weeks prior to your community service to receive credit. You will be notified within 3 days of submitting your application whether or not your event has been approved.

Service-Learning

To offer your course for service-learning credit you will need to submit a proposal form for the Christian Service Committee to review.

Proposal- Email the Christian Service director for a course proposal form. You will submit this, along with your syllabus and any documents explaining and assessing your reflection component(s) during the first semester prior to the school year that you plan to implement your course.  This will allow enough time to make the necessary changes in the catalog.
