Service-Learning Projects Enhance Student Learning In Strategic Management Courses, John Angelidis, Igor Tomic, Nabil A. Ibrahim

They have created plays about drug and alcohol abuse and put on fashion shows for senior citizens. These are not simply nice things to do. They contribute to an …

Civic Engagement In The First-Year Experience: Developing Civic Literacy, Jody L. Neathery-Castro
Civic Engagement In The First-Year Experience: Developing Civic Literacy, Jody L. Neathery-Castro
Political Science Faculty Publications

A model from the University of Nebraska-Omaha suggests that introducing civic learning in the first year is highly effective, especially for urban university students who have strong ties to the city.
