Engaging First-Year Students: The Power and Potential of Service-Learning

Abstract

While community engagement is not typically on a college freshman's list of priorities, service-learning yields positive impacts on student development, the community and the university. Because of this, it is important to consider how first semester freshmen can be engaged in service-learning experiences at the start of their college career.
