The Office of Academic Service-Learning will strive to provide
essential organizational and administrative services for all
constituents—students, faculty and community service sites.
Our student and faculty centered services will enable innovative
teaching, rational inquiry and reflective learning. As
articulated in the University Mission, as well as our Department
Mission, we strive to enhance the educational experience of student
participants so that they become more fully committed to the
Vincentian Charism of St. John’s University through active service
to communities in need. As the embodiment of the “real life”
actualization of Vincentian values, mores and ethics, Academic
Service-Learning will become known throughout the University and
its many constituencies for addressing social justice issues and
preparing our students for life-long participation in the
democratic process through enlightened civic engagement.
