An exciting development in higher education in the
increasingly widespread adoption of service learning as an
effective teaching and learning methodolgy.  Higher
education institutions of all kinds are incorporating
service into their academic programs, focusing on the
aspects of the learning experience that they determine to
be most appropriate for their students.  This video takes
you to five different kinds of these higher education
institutions - a land-grant university (Clemson
University), a state university (Eastern Michigan
University), a community college (Brevard Community
College), a private liberal arts college (Bates College),
and a historically black college (Benedict College).  Each
perceives service learning as a significant contributor to
the overall educational experience they provide for their
students, yet each see this from its unique perspective.
