Benefits of CSL for Faculty
Make a difference in the lives of students and in the community! The Institute for Civic and Community Engagement (ICCE) promotes and supports the professional growth of SF State faculty.
Community Service Learning (CSL) has been identified as a high-impact educational practice (HIP) by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Interactive CSL courses promote achievement and improve quality of learning in traditionally underserved student populations--students of color, the economically disadvantaged, first-generation college students, and students with different learning styles. ICCE helps faculty incorporate CSL pedagogy into their courses, identify appropriate community placement sites and connect you with them, monitor students and manage potential risks.
