All College and University Service-Learning Programs National Campus Compact Campus Compact is a coalition of college and university presidents committed to helping students develop the values and skills of citizenship through participation in public and community service. It is the only national higher education organization whose primary purpose is to support campus-based public and community service. For over 25 years, NSEE has developed best practices for effectively integrating experience into educational programs. Finally, a resource section at the end will provide examples of exemplary programs and a list of resources for campuses to use as they ready themselves to assume the challenges of community service. It takes students into urban communities to test academic theories in the real world.
Students develop critical analysis and hands-on skills for creating social change.
The programs require all students to actively participate in their own learning and contribute to the learning of the whole group. Students meet frequently for group seminars and discussions. Most students complete an independent study project during the semester. They also draw students from such institutions as Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Swarthmore, and Oberlin. IASE also promotes service learning programs for US students in the area of healthcare and education.
