At Notre Dame of Maryland University, we define service-learning as working and solving real world issues alongside community members. These interactions provide rich, experiential learning opportunities when coupled with guided reflection, class discussion, and skilled analysis relating to course content.

Service-learning extends education beyond your classroom into the community. If you would like to incorporate service-learning into your courses, ask your academic advisor about service-learning opportunities or reach out to the Office of Service and Community Engagement at ServiceNDMU@ndm.edu.

Service-Learning Courses

Courses with a service-learning component may be offered in any discipline at the undergraduate or graduate level and are noted in the course catalog.

Upcoming Service-Learning Workshops for Faculty, Staff, and Community Partners

Consultations on course design

Ongoing

Schedule one-on-one consultations or group meetings with a Service-Learning Faculty Fellow or the Office of Service & Community Engagement for hands-on help getting started on new service-learning syllabi, targeted feedback on syllabi-in-progress, and/or help matching potential service-learning courses to community partners.

These consultations will be approximately one-hour, though as many follow-ups as needed can be scheduled. We do ask that you schedule at least one week in advance by contacting Yetta Nowak, the Director of Community Engagement and Service Learning, at ynowak@ndm.edu.
