Welcome St. Mary's University Faculty and Staff!

Our staff enjoys a collaborative relationship with the faculty and staff of St. Mary's. Each semester we offer programs and services to support this joint effort.

Service-Learning Service-learning, at its most basic, is a form of experiential learning that allows students to apply the theories taught within the classroom to a real world setting. The application of learning within the classroom distinguishes service-learning from traditional community service and volunteerism. Through experiencing issues such as poverty or illiteracy first-hand, for example, students learn not only about the problems affecting their community, but they also learn how they can take an active role in addressing such problems. Classroom conversations and readings enhance this understanding by providing a theoretical framework to real-life problems.

Service Involvement Report Current St. Mary's University students, registered student organizations, faculty, and staff are highly encouraged to complete the Service Involvement Report (SIR) in order to accurately document all community service and service-learning hours as well as any type of fundraising events meant for philanthropic causes. Completed forms can be submitted to the Civic Engagement and Career Development Center throughout the duration of the year. The Civic Engagement and Career Development Center verifies the information submitted by students and provides a service confirmation list for all students and their hours to each Service-Learning instructor at the end of each semester. In order to receive a confirmation list, please submit your current roster and course syllabi to Jordan Humphrey, Ph.D., Assistant Director for Service Learning.
