The Spring 2016 Service-Learning EXPO has come and gone! The hour and a half showcase was as fleeting but as bright and fascinating as a speeding comet!

Whether this was your first S-L EXPO or your eighth, the culmination of a semester's fantastic partnerships never ceases to be amazing.

Across the Globe with Service-Learning

By Ruthanne Bandy

         This summer three Northeastern University faculty members will lead Dialogues of Civilization (DOC) with a service-learning component. These faculty members are charged with fostering an environment of learning and growth for their students, while respecting the country in which they are guests. Dr. Lori Gardinier will be traveling to England with students partaking in the DOC Nonprofits and Social Change in London. Tania Muiño-Loureiro will return to her native country Spain with the Dialogue entitled Spain, Language and Culture. Finally, Dr. Vanessa Johnson will be leading Education and Learning in Ghana with undergraduate and graduate students. Each of these programs is unique in location, course content, and how service-learning will be implemented. Continue reading here.
