Celebration of Service Event Showcases Civic Engagement

The Celebration of Service, Service-learning and Civic Engagement Event, co-sponsored by APDC, SERVE Center and the Civic Engagement Committee, will highlight projects conducted across campus in a poster presentation format.

Faculty, staff and students who are interested in showcasing their service-learning or civic engagement are welcome to apply. Submissions can include course projects, organization service, faculty research projects and more. The event focuses on topics such as environmental health-based service, course fundraising efforts, ecology-based service-learning and service in student organizations.

Posters must be standard poster board, 36 by 48 inches, and must contain: project title; names of participants or organizations; methods for how the service-learning project was conducted; a reflection component on how participants were included in the project; and a description of lessons learned while conducting the project.
