Teaching students the meaning and value
of service to others is ultimately what our programs are about. The
program allows students to experience firsthand the rewards that
come from making a positive contribution to the lives of other
people. Students learn for themselves that giving to others will
help lead to success.
Students are placed into challenging situations with for and
not-for-profit organizations to help tackle important social issues
and solve complex strategic and operational problems – an approach
that links service to the community with academic and career goals,
and underscores the importance of service, generosity of spirit and
personal integrity. The objective is to not only involve
students in meaningful issues that stimulate personal growth, but
also to help them develop valuable skills in the management of
not-for-profit organizations – a segment of growing importance and
sophistication in our nation's economy.
