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 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.
