Service Learning
Service learning is an integral part of the University's mission, deeply rooted in the tradition of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. It goes beyond simple volunteering by formally integrating community service with academic coursework and structured reflection. This commitment is designed to foster civic responsibility, promote social justice, and encourage students to make service a life-long commitment
