Service learning.

Outreach and development throughout the Fall 1997 semester led to the Spring 1998 piloting of the first three courses (Customer Behavior, Learning and Health Promotion) to offer the Fourth Credit Option. To stimulate interest in this new program, a direct mailer was sent to 82 students enrolled in the courses offering a service-learning component and in-class presentations were made to promote the program. Twenty-one students registered for these one-credit “Special Topics” courses which are being offered by faculty in the Colleges of Business, Social Sciences and Public Affairs, and Education.
