The Red & Black
Located in its new home
at 1242 1/2 South Lumpkin
St., the Office of Service-
Learning has already begun
to get its hands dirty with
new service opportunity
programs, courses and
events.
Shannon Wilder, direc
tor of OSL, said a main
objective of University ser
vice-learning is to provide
students with opportuni
ties to receive academic
credit for community ser
vice, applying classroom
learning to real issues.
“We want to help stu
dents to get more hands
on experiences and at the
same time help the com
munity by applying course
work content to a commu
nity need,” she said.
OSL moved into anew
office behind the Panning
Institute in August. The
staff has already begun
promoting service-learning
from their new location. In
fact, much of the landscape
surrounding the building
was done by University
horticulture students as a
part of their coursework.
“Service-learning is a
chance to really be out
doing service work, while
at the same time fulfilling
academic requirements,”
said Paul Matthews, assis
tant director of OSL.
In conjunction with the
University’s course approv
al system. OSL has helped
to delineate and promote
45 courses with an “S” suf
fix and more than 100
courses involving service
learning. The suffix indi
cates the course’s service
learning component.
The OSL has been work
ing with the Office of the
Vice President for Public
Service and Outreach to
offer anew student pro

Scholars program.
Beginning in Spring 2011,
the program will provide
undergraduates with ser
vice opportunities in eight
community-based PSO
units, including the Marine
Extension Service, Georgia
Small Business
Development Center and
the State Botanical Garden
of Georgia.
Along with the commu
nity-based, hands-on expe
rience, scholars would also
receive an award of SI,OOO
and recognition at PSO’s
annual meeting in April.
Matthews said he hopes
students will understand
service has a wide range of
applications in any field.
“Public service is not a
narrow career path, but
has a broad range of oppor
tunities,” he said.
For one former
University student, the ser
vice-learning opportunities
offered allowed her to
explore her chosen career
path while taking classes.
Caitlin Nossett, a
University alumna, works
as an AmeriCorps VISTA
member for Community
Connection of Northeast
Georgia in Athens —a fed
erally funded program
building the capacity of
volunteer organizations.
“I wanted to get more
hands-on application to
my major,” Nossett said.
"Service-learning helped
me get out in the Athens
community, which is some
thing many students don’t
get to do.”
