Students with awards

Faculty who regularly teach service-learning courses are asked to request a service-learning course designation so that the class is properly tagged in Banner. This designation appears in all registration materials.

1

Students can easily identify service-learning courses in Banner.

2

To celebrate and recognize the students, faculty, and community partners involved

3

The CCE can provide support and advocate for resources to ensure success.
