Please check out the upcoming Service Learning conferences. These are excellent opportunities to share your experiences in using Service Learning and also learn from many other faculty. The keynote speakers and sessions are excellent opportunities for learning and receiving energy to bring back and share with your colleagues at Sinclair and with your students. I encourage you to start now to take advantage of these opportunities.

Check with the following for funds to help you present and/or attend one of these conferences:Service Learning; Center for Teaching & Learning ; SDIC;  and your Department.
