During the fall semester 黑料社 freshmen students completed service learning projects as part of Student Success Seminar, a course for first-time, full-time and part-time students. The class is a requirement for degree-seeking students enrolled in transfer and technical curriculums.
The objective of the assignment is to give attention to human diversity. Each class got to choose the projects. A portion of the students researched and signed petitions on issues they care about, registered to vote, and attended fundraisers. Some classes did a trash pickup around campus and the walking trail, while a few assisted in mass mailings for recruiting. Others helped clean up at the college farm and assisted with pre-school, kindergarten, and first grade classes in Colby.
鈥淪ervice learning projects are worthy ventures with short and long-term societal benefits,鈥� said Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. George McNulty. 鈥淭hese projects extend beyond the value added to this community; there is hope the experience gained from participation in these educational events will increase students鈥� desires to continue contributing to their communities in the future. Service to the community enriches lives.鈥�
