Service-learning is an excellent way to integrate theory with practice and help students
deepen their comprehension of course content, increase their understanding of the
complexity of social issues, and improve their ability to solve problems creatively
and collaboratively. To find out how to implement service-learning in your course,
join us on April 14 for this Magna online seminar. Dr. Anna Kleiner and Dr. Minh Huynh,
members of Southeastern's Service-Learning and Civic Engagement Advisory Committee,
will facilitate discussion following the seminar.

of Louisiana System.

more faculty and students in service-learning.
