The Office of Public Engagement is conducting a student focus group to assess the perception of service learning at UConn.
Definition of Service Learning:
“Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.” (The Carnegie Foundation)
For this study, students are asked to participate in a focus group for the Office of Public Engagement to better understand service learning and how we can go about expanding the opportunities for students. The focus group will be audio recorded. There will be no compensation and no cost to participate. Participants are not required to have past involvement with service learning and can be of any major or education level. Students must be 18 years of age or older.

If you are a student at a regional campus and would like to participate, we will make accommodations through video conferencing.

For more information, or to sign up, please email julia.yakovich@uconn.edu as soon as possible, but no later than Tuesday, November 10.
