Community-Based Learning

Community Based Learning Programs at St. Lawrence University offer students a variety of academic opportunities to combine community engagement and service with course-based activities and assignments in ways that are designed to promote student learning and personal development. By combining classrooms and communities, our students are learning by doing and doing by learning.
