Learning to Serve: Promoting Civil Society Through Service Learning

Service learning, as defined by the editors of this book, is the generation of knowledge that is of benefit to the community as a whole. This seventh volume in the Outreach Scholarship book series contributes to the discussion of how service learning functions as a critical cornerstone of outreach scholarship. The sections and chapters of this book marshal evidence in support of the idea that undergraduate service learning, infused throughout the curriculum and coupled with outreach scholarship, is an integral means through which higher education can engage the people and institutions of communities in a manner that perpetuate civil society.
