“How Service Learning Prepares Students for Life after College"
Speakers Samantha Mallory & Kene Anyigbo
When: March 17, 2015
Time: 6:30-7:30
Location: Downing Student Union Room 2001
Workshop Description: It is a growing concern among educators and employers that today’s graduates are not adequately prepared to be successful employees, effective communicators, or involved citizens.
This presentation will discuss the ways in which service-learning develops students’ soft skills by supplementing the academic education that takes place in the classroom. Students who attend this workshop will learn how to employ the skills attained through their participation in service-learning projects in future endeavors following graduation.
On Top On Tuesdays Workshop Series:
On Top On Tuesday is an opportunity for students to learn how involvement on campus and in the community can impact a student's college experience. The three different sessions feature graduate students in the Counseling and Student Affairs and Kinesology, Recreation and Sport programs who also serve as graduate assistants at the WKU ALIVE Center for Community Partnerships. They will share their graduate research, college experiences, and offer peer-to-peer advice for achieving student success at Western Kentucky University. On Top On Tuesdays is sponsored by the Center for Career and Professional Development and the WKU ALIVE Center for Community Partnerships.
