Through structured reflection, students evaluate, synthesize, and analyze the effect of their service. The recognition component allows students to gain appreciation of the importance of their discipline in solving real community problems. Faculty will require students to adhere to certain criteria, such as meeting real needs with expertise learned in the course. At the end of the semester, each class will have its teams make presentations about their projects to the rest of that class, with evaluations of each project based on the criteria. Applications and instructions will be offered at these repeated sessions.
All faculty are welcome and encouraged to attend.
