Service Learning for Social Justice
Service Learning for Social Justice International Study Trips
SLSJ supported 12 to 20 faculty and staff in several workshops on service-learning and social justice, and included international travel of 7 to 10 days during the summer to allow this faculty/staff group the opportunity to broaden their understanding of global social justice issues. Faculty participants included a service-learning component in one of their courses during the year following the program.
