Service-Learning
The Lowell Bennion Community Service Center is home to service-learning at the "U." The center also houses over 40 student-directed programs, Bend-in-the-River Urban Treehouse and America Reads.
Service-Learning is a method of teaching where students, faculty, and community partners work together to apply knowledge in authentic settings that address the needs of the community and meet instructional objectives using action and critical reflection to prepare students for careers and to become meaningful members of a just and democratic society.
The University of Utah and the Lowell Bennion Community Service Center’s service-learning program is nationally recognized. The first courses were offered in the early nineties. More than 100 designated service-learning courses exist, taught by faculty from virtually every college on campus.
