Cornerstone: A Collection of Scholarly and Creative Works for Minnesota State University, Mankato
Abstract
Many students graduate from college with no idea about what to do with the knowledge they just spent four years acquiring. However, for years service learning has provided a way for students to apply the knowledge they learn in the classroom to a real-world setting. Students who have participated in service learning activities have an opportunity to enhance both their professional development and civic engagement. Based on our research and experience, problem-solving, teamwork, and self-confidence were key developmental areas perceived to be of value to students who participated in a service learning project
