Community Outreach and Service

Educational Services to the Community

Stevenson University regularly sponsors a variety of educational services open to the public. In general these services include career workshops, SU speakers who appear at various high schools to advise on career choices, and seminars to acquaint students and parents with financial aid requirements.

Community Service Opportunities for Students

The University encourages and supports community service. Through organizations such as the Stevenson Student United Way, students can serve the community in many ways. The University supports students who aim to develop an awareness of social issues and have a desire to contribute to their solution rather than their perpetuation. Many of the mentioned clubs and organizations include service as an integral part of their mission and offer numerous opportunities to serve the community.

Formal service-learning opportunities have been developed within the curriculum of the University and are incorporated into various classes. Students can choose to enroll in a service-learning class which allows them to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom in an authentic way to meet genuine community needs. These classes integrate meaningful service with academic instruction and reflection while providing students with the resources to be civically, socially, and culturally engaged.
