The Mansfield Institute at Roosevelt University is proud to support transformational service-learning. Instructors who incorporate service-learning into their classes have students serve in the community in ways that closely relate to their course material. Professors ensure that the service work is meaningful and meets the needs of both the student and the site. Students then reflect on their service and make connections to the class through assignments (such as journals, research papers, or other activities).

At Roosevelt University, we encourage faculty members to explicitly address social justice through their service-learning. Transformational service-learning encourages students to participate in the university's mission by allowing them to interact with underprivileged or socially marginalized people or in settings that serve these groups of people. Instructors who use transformational learning can also help students participate in civic or social action that focuses on ameliorating societal injustices.

Contact us at 312-341-2150 if we can support your use of this approach to teaching and learning in any way.
