The article for this week deals with incorporating community service into academics, like a more focused version of what we consider service learning.

Some questions to consider:
1. What do you think about having classes that include service as part of the learning process?
2. One of the classes, “Diversity and Health,” did service that was specifically related to what they were learning in the class. Would students be more inclined to do service and feel passionate about it if the service relates to their academic or professional life? Or is the service important to them because it’s a part of their grade?
3. Would having service as a part of classes result in students continuing to do community service after they graduate? Why?
I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!
