Service Learning & Community Engagement @ USC Upstate.
Show me, and I will forget. Teach me, and I will remember. Involve me, and I will learn.
Chinese proverb
On the SLCE For Instructors page, you’ll find helpful information about SLCE for faculty, such as celebrations & awards, professional development opportunities, and ways we can collaborate to better reach our students and our community!
Student UPdates is the home of content for our student audience, including service opportunities, activity recaps, new project announcements, and more.
Service Stories center around the theme “we care and are doing something about it.” Topics & styles vary. SLCE enthusiasts are invited to author their own stories and can submit a story for our blog by contacting us here. Stories matter!
