CARNEGIE INTERPRETATION OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND THEIR LARGER COMMUNITIES (LOCAL, REGIONAL/STATE, NATIONAL, GLOBAL) FOR THE MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL EXCHANGE OF KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES IN A CONTEXT OF PARTNERSHIP AND RECIPROCITY.
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THE PROCESS WHEREBY KNOWLEDGE IS CREATED THROUGH THE TRANSFORMATION OF EXPERIENCE. KNOWLEDGE RESULTS FROM THE COMBINATIONS OF GRASPING AND TRANSFORMING EXPERIENCE.
SERVICE LEARNING CONNECTS THE CAMPUS WITH THE COMMUNITY GENERATES CAPACITY-BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS ENHANCES STUDENT LEARNING ADDRESSES CRITICAL COMMUNITY ISSUES
SERVICE LEARNING ENCOURAGES STUDENT LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THOUGHT- FULLY ORGANIZED SERVICE THAT IS CONDUCTED IN, AND MEETS THE NEEDS OF, A COMMUNITY INTEGRATED INTO, AND ENHANCES, THE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM HELPS FOSTER CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
SERVICE LEARNING GOES BEYOND WHAT IS LEARNED IN THE CLASSROOM A HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE STUDENTS GAIN NEW SKILLS BY WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE COMMUNITY COMMUNICATION, TEAM-BUILDING, CRITICAL THINKING; BUILDS THEIR SELF- ESTEEM; AND DEVELOPS THEIR SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR DECISION-MAKING AND
