Kristin Harper, Coordinator of Service-Learning,
Hess Center for Leadership and Service
The Office of Service Learning is a part of the Hess Center for Leadership
and Service and is located on the second floor of the Norton Campus Center.
Service Learning is one of the distinctive features of Birmingham Southern
College. Coordinated through the Office of Service Learning, students
and faculty have developed an extensive program of service benefitting
both the College and community.
Students coordinate several local projects
such as delivering Meals on Wheels, tutoring elementary school students,
and staffing homeless shelters. During spring break, students have
the opportunity to travel to new cultures, build community and be of
service.
Interim projects in service learning provide
opportunities for intensive, course based service in local, national
and international communities.
During the fall and spring terms, selected courses offer service
learning components. Using the gift of education and service to others
has long
been a part of the College's mission and students are encouraged
to become involved.
