The Office of Service Learning involves first-year students in a required service learning project that integrates public service with the traditional classroom experience. Students complete ten hours of service as part of the First-Year Experience and the general education core course, Athens to New York. Working in collaboration with faculty and social service agencies throughout Mercer County, the office annually coordinates the placement of approximately 1200 students with over thirty service learning sites.
Transportation is provided for sites beyond walking distance from the campus.
The office is administered by the Director of Service Learning with support from a secretary, graduate and administrative assistants, and part-time drivers.
