Program for Service Learning and Community Sertvice
The program for Service-Learning and Community Service has been implemented through the Office of Career Development to aid in the enhancement of community alliances and to forge the commitment of students through service actions. Through this endeavor, students will gain leadership skills, societal insight, and the necessary experiences needed to achieve job skills and human relations. Therefore, community service and service learning help build the bridge between serving and learning, while forging the link between the community and higher-learning institutions.
