SL Coordinator's Message                              

Welcome to the web site for McNeese State University. This web site is designed to serve as a tool to assist with enhancing the mission of our state's initiative regarding Service Learning. We are proud to be the 30th member of the  National Campus Compact. It is our desire to provide a plethora of resources pertaining to Service Learning. We will strive to provide best practices to assist you with your service-learning needs. We ask that you take the opportunity to peruse the various areas provided. 

Service Learning is a method of teaching and learning in which one or more academic objectives of a course are met through meaningful service to the community.  Students apply knowledge and sharpen their skills while they contribute to non-profit, charitable agencies or to civic or governmental organizations. Service learning is the result of collaboration among a student, university professor, and mentor from the community agency or organization.

Thank you for visiting our site.
