The Office of Academic Service Learning would like to recognize Creighton faculty teaching academic service courses in spring 2019. This semester 26 academic service courses are offered in a wide variety of departments representing many of Creighton’s schools and colleges. Service-learning includes many kinds of experiences for the almost 250 students enrolled. Students in Journalism 341 Public Relations Writing are creating materials for Live Well Omaha, while students in Tom Purcell’s Accounting 343 assist in tax preparation for those in need, and students in the nursing capstone provide care in a local community health agency serving a marginalized population. Courses also involve a variety of community partners including Learning For All’s partnership with Advanced Spoken French, Graphic Design II students creating murals for Sacred Heart School, and Singing for Social Justice’s partnership with Opera Omaha.
The deadline for submitting courses to be designated as academic service learning in the fall of 2019 is March 25. Information about the course proposal process in the online submission form are available on the Office of Academic Service-Learning website.
