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.colored paper rolls

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:

  1. The project must meet a need of the community

  2. The project must be tied to a college course curriculum

  3. The student must reflect on the service in relation to the course.

More information about the service learning program is available on the ECU website at http://www.ecok.edu/about/service_learning.htm.
