Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience. It also teaches civic responsibility and strengthens communities. The presenters will discuss a successful project they designed and implemented on their campus in which an introductory leisure studies course built Adirondack chairs to enhance the use of outdoor campus space.
