Academic Service-Learning on St. John’s University is a
classroom-based program that involves students in some form of
required community service activity and uses that activity as a
means of understanding course concepts.
Serving the University Community since 1995, the Office of
Academic Service-Learning at St. John’s has aided the faculty in
this experiential learning pedagogy in every department from Fine
Arts to Pharmacy and from Marketing to Modern Languages. In
Academic Service-Learning, faculty link service to the community
with academic and career goals.
A wide variety of service assignments encourage and challenge
students to achieve carefully crafted learning objects in a
hands-on, community service setting. Academic Service-Learning
faculty challenge their students through planned reflection and
analysis to grow intellectually and emotionally while actively
participating in the Vincentian charism of service to the
marginalized and the poor.
