The Center for Service and Learning involves students, faculty and staff in educationally meaningful service activities that mutually benefit the campus and community.
The mission for the Center for Service and Learning (CSL) is to involve students, faculty, and staff in educationally meaningful service activities that mutually benefit the campus and community. The history of CSL began in 1993 with a focus on service learning course development; four offices have been established to coordinate a variety of campus-community programs. The budget is primarily supported through the reallocation of campus funds to achieve the campus mission of civic engagement. IUPUI has gained national recognition for its commitment to and scholarship on service learning and civic engagement.
CSL is comprised of four offices:
The Office of Service Learning assists faculty to develop, implement, and assess service-learning classes. This office consults with faculty, provides resources for course development, conducts research, and promotes the scholarship of engagement.
The Office of Community Service coordinates programs to promote and recognize the involvement of students, in the community. This office cultivates student leadership, organizes campus-wide service events, facilitates alternative break trips and works with student organizations and community agencies to promote service opportunities.
The Office of Neighborhood Partnerships collaborates with community organizations and other campus units to build long-term partnerships between IUPUI and its surrounding neighborhoods. This office facilitates the Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC) Initiative.
The Office of Community Work Study involves students in the community through Federal Work-Study employment. Through these placements, students have the opportunity to integrate career exploration and educational experiences with meaningful employment.
