International Service/Service Learning

Welcome Travelers!

Our Center promotes student and faculty awareness of global and international issues through service learning courses, alternative breaks, and volunteer opportunities in countries throughout the world.  Students may enroll in current, faculty-developed international service learning courses, or they may study and serve by contacting international organizations that have programs in a particular country.

Interested?  Have an idea?
For more information on international opportunities, please contact the Center.
