THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

Service-Based Learning Project

CampUShed has been awarded a $5,700 grant for the 2002-2003 academic year in order to develop a series of service-learning courses.

Funding for this project is available through the Service-Learning Scholars Roundtable, a group of faculty appointed by the Office of Academic Affairs to study and promote service-learning at OSU, with a grant from the Corporation for National Service to develop academic courses with substantial service-learning components.

Service-Learning is a form of experiential education characterized by 1) student participation in an organized community service activity which meets community need; and 2) structured opportunities for student reflection, analysis, and connection of service experience to learning in the classroom.

CampUShed will collaborate with 4 classes over the 2002-2003 school year:
