Service-learning showcase
The Office of Service-Learning will host a student-focused service-learning showcase April 22 in the Memorial Hall Ballroom from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. The showcase, entitled “Beyond Broad Street: Service-Learning in Action,” will highlight the students who participate in service-learning on UGA’s campus. The OSL encourages faculty members to consider the showcase as a possible venue when trying to find a time and space for students to present their final projects. The OSL is looking for student posters, displays, presentations and other methods of reflection that students do in their service-learning classes. For more information, contact Caroline Twiggs, twiggsc@uga.edu.
