The Service Learning Academy facilitates rigorous experiential learning experiences for students to apply their classroom content to community-identified opportunities in collaboration with UNO faculty members and community partners. Each month we will highlight ways in which our team and partners are meeting our metropolitan mission.

Service Learning Academy Open House

The UNO Service Learning Academy invites you to attend our annual Open House. We invite students, faculty members, campus partners, and community partners to attend and learn about service learning courses, connect with potential partners, meet new staff members, and help the SLA shape our strategic agenda. This year, the SLA Open House will take place on Thursday, December 8 from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M. in the Barbara Weitz Community Engagement Center (CEC) in room 216.

In addition, attendees will be able to explore the Undesign the Redline exhibit which is now being housed directly adjacent to the Service Learning Academy after being housed at the Union for Contemporary Art for several years. Refreshments and food are provided at Open House.

To indicate your interest, please utilize the event’s webpage.

Faculty Fellows for the 2022-2023 school year are:
