CENTER FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING SERVICE LEARNING
The Marquette University Service Learning Program helps students learn in practice what they study in the classroom through meaningful service placements in the community. As part of their academic courses, over 60 percent of Marquette students participate in service learning during their Marquette careers. Students are placed in service opportunities throughout Milwaukee, which provide a more impactful academic learning experience, and help develop leadership skills, a sense of civic responsibility and a deeper understanding of social justice issues in our community.
