“Helping to deliver Meals on Wheels and swinging a hammer for Habitat for
Humanity are very worthwhile activities, but in terms of adding to the learning
on a deep level, they may not be enough,” said Lynn Pelco, William and Mary’s
Sharpe Professor for Civic Engagement.
But by having students partner
with faculty and community members to incorporate academic learning into
service, students can take their service further and become leaders in civic
engagement. And Pelco is helping William and Mary students do just
that.
