Service Learning

After the headache so to speak of the first semester Professor Rosner smoothed things out with the Service Learning Office in order to make our honors experience much better. We have a paper that needs to get signed whenever we go to a dialogue or reflection the staff member from service learning signs it. This helps alleviate the added stress of being a guinea pig from the fall semester. In the fall semester we were required to go to three dialogues and two reflections; now we only have to go to one dialogue and two reflections. I think that the two-page write ups after the service learning projects are extremely helpful because they help you reflect the most. You get a sense of exactly how important your service is whether it is on-campus or off-campus or short-term or long-term. Any amount of volunteering is beneficial to both the volunteer and the organization. I have always enjoyed volunteering but I never sat down and thought about the difference that I make during my volunteering. I also think that the service learning aspect of the Honor’s program is an awesome thing to be able to put on your transcript because it shows that you went above and beyond the call of duty during your four years of college. Not every school offers the same opportunities that Stockton College does. I also think that Stockton does an excellent job making your volunteer idea come to life.
