Service Learning Service Learning allows students to engage in significant community-based experiences within the context of their regular semester work. Students are given a fieldwork assignment attached to a regularly offered college course, which often involves placing a student in a social service agency in the surrounding community. Students are assigned to interact with clients and complete projects that the agency needs to have done. The agency work is completed in the context of a college course, which has specific learning objectives. Part of the Service Learning experience is class-directed reflection that focuses more intensely on the experience. When Service Learning is combined with a reflective component, issues about values, meaning and vocation are often raised. As part of Wooster’s Lilly Project, the College will offer resources to expand upon the Service Learning resources that currently exist at the College. We will create forums for reflection in which the deeper issues of vocation, which Service Learning raises, might be directly explored. These issues are often larger than standard course objectives. The forums would attempt to engage students in vocational reflection. Speakers During 2003-04 Academic Year: Speakers for 2004-05 Academic Year:
