Senior Josh Bailey encourages students to look into Service-Learning courses at GW, because they teach students a great deal about civic responsibility and are engaging.

Often when we register for classes, we consider when the class meets, what the subject is and perhaps the quality of previous students’ ratings of a professor. But perhaps another consideration to add to the list is service.

Service, in terms of academics, is referred to as service-learning, and is defined by the national community service program Learn and Serve America as being “a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.”
