COMMUNITY SERVICE LEARNING
For the first time in 2006, the Office of Community Service Learning sponsored the university-wide writing contest, Commonwealth Essays in Community Service Learning. These essays elicit undergraduate and graduate students' thoughtful reflections on how their work in community service learning has led them to build new skills, develop crucial reciprocal relationships, increase knowledge and effect social change. The essays describe students' community service and explain how that service has been of value to others as well as to the students themselves. Essays are recognized for aptly demonstrating the ways in which a particular community service experience has led to important civic, personal and academic learning.
