Service Learning

What is Service Learning?

Service learning at Mount Aloysius College is a method of instruction in which students learn the content of the curriculum while actively participating in and reflecting on experiences that benefit both the community and the students.  A service learning position paper (Service Learning Plan) was affirmed by the faculty in October 2005 in which this definition of service learning is articulated as well as statements regarding

• The relevance of service learning to Mount Aloysius College (MAC)
• Different models of service learning
• The approach that should be taken at MAC
• A proposed timeline for implementation

Mount Aloysius College continues to develop its service learning program through a Service Learning Committee ; monies available for service learning projects; an annual Service Learning Expo.
