MUSLP offers a regular series of workshops designed to help faculty develop service
learning courses in their respective disciplines. We offer three types of workshops:
Introduction to Service Learning
Every Fall semester during iPED: Inquiring Pedagogies,
the annual fall conference on teaching and learning. All faculty are invited. (75
minutes)
This session introduces faculty to the philosophy of service learning, distinguishes
service learning from internships and other forms of experiential learning, and
offers examples of service learning in a variety of disciplines.
Advanced Service Learning Course Construction
Workshop
Every Fall and Spring semester. Reservations required.
(4 hours)
This advanced session offers intensive training in converting a course in any discipline
into an SL-designated course. This workshop is strongly recommended for faculty
preparing an application for the SL course designation.
Space is limited. Advance registration required. All faculty who complete the Course
Construction workshop and submit a successful application for an SL course designation
will receive a certificate of successful workshop completion and a gift card for
use in the Marshall Bookstore. (Register

Learning in the Disciplines

This session reviews some of the best SL practices in a variety of disciplines and
showcases some of the service-learning projects and pedagogies developed by Marshall
faculty, students, and community partners during the current academic year.
