Nova Southeastern University faculty plays a critical role in student development,
both inside and outside the classroom. As research continues to shed light on the
importance and positive impact of infusing service learning into the undergraduate
curriculum, Nova Southeastern University aims to provide these experiences to our
students. Below are a series of resources, including sample syllabi, reflection material,
and links to peer-reviewed material related to making a connection between community-based
learning, issue-based education, and relating work in the community back to the curriculum.
