Community Work and Learning

Department: Nursing

Course with Service Learning: Nursing Care of the Family

"Health promotion, health education and interdisciplinary skills are all essential in nursing. Community work and learning partnerships give students authentic settings in which to be introduced to and begin to use these skills.

"Being in the community was both a humbling and empowering experience for students. They worked with hard-working and committed community contacts. They recognized some of the special challenges that many non-profit agencies face. The service-learning activity built on previous course work and taught new skills."
