Clarkson College Receives Service-Learning Grant

Clarkson College was recently awarded with a service-learning grant by the Midwest Consortium for Service-Learning in Higher Education. The grant, which runs through December, will allow the college to coordinate ongoing service-learning efforts and will help create new opportunities.

 

"This grant will provide us with the opportunity to have a part-time director to coordinate various activities," said Judi Dunn, Dean of Professional Development. "It will also allow for staff development to train faculty on utilizing service-learning within their courses."

         

Clarkson College is extremely active in the community partnering with others for service-learning and community service including; Chicano Awareness Center, Omaha Public School District, Open Door Mission and the AIM Institute just to name a few. Students, faculty and staff have been very active in service-learning and community service completing serving over 43 agencies in the past year.

 

The grant is renewable and is a Learn and Serve America Grant from the Corporation for National Service.
