Service Learning
The Arts District of Ada offers an exciting
arena for ECU students to contribute to a community need related to course
concepts through the service learning program. In a service learning
project, the student has an opportunity to apply concepts from a course
while adding value to the community.
For example, a local entrepreneur, wishing to start up a business could work
with a student from the business school to do market research, develop a
brand or working with the arts department, a student could work on
developing a logo.
There are three criteria that must be met for service learning:
-
The project must meet a need of the community
-
The project must be tied to a college course curriculum
-
The student must reflect on the service in relation to the course.
