Spring 2012 Academic Service-Learning Update: Student Service Tracking System.

Service is a major part of the Vincentian heritage and a key component to the education experience and mission here at St. John’s. The Service Tracking application has been developed for students to submit the service hours that they have performed over the course of the academic year. Service completed for Academic Service Learning, student groups, and for other reasons will all be recorded in this stream lined process.

Please make sure your AS-L agreement/timelog has been completed and includes the name of the service site and number of hours served and that it is signed by you, the site supervisor and your professor. Before submitting the AS-L agreement/timelog to your professor, enter your service hours and information from your AS-L agreement/timelog into the system in UIS.

Academic Service-Learning at St. John’s University is a classroom- based program that involves students in some form of required community service activity and uses that activity as a means of understanding course concepts. It is a pedagogical approach whereby students engage in a service activity that benefits the common good.  The service activity meets course objectives, and through reflection students examine issues pertaining to justice and identity.

Serving the University Community since 1995, the Office of Academic Service-Learning at St. John’s has aided the faculty in this experiential learning pedagogy in every department from Fine Arts to Pharmacy and from Marketing to Modern Languages. In Academic Service-Learning, faculty link service to the community with academic and career goals.

A wide variety of service assignments encourage and challenge students to achieve carefully crafted learning objects in a hands-on, community service setting. Academic Service-Learning faculty challenge their students through planned reflection and analysis to grow intellectually and emotionally while actively participating in the Vincentian charism of service to the marginalized and the poor.
