Abstract
American philosopher and educator John Dewey called for direct experience in the field to provide an education that cultivates well-rounded citizens. Service learning enhances community problem solving and builds stronger town-gown relationships. This paper is a report on one university’s application of the service-learning model in the development of a community outreach center, and a preliminary report on its contributions to the students’, university’s, and community’s civic health, respectively.
