Spring 2021 | 12 P.M. - 6 P.M. | Thompson Alumni Center

The Service Learning Showcase is an opportunity to learn more about service learning, share scholarship on service learning, and meet other people interested in service learning, all while enjoying hors d'oeuvres and drinks. Whether you are brand new to service learning or you have a long-running project, we are excited to see you at Showcase. 

If you are interested in sharing scholarship or some of your experiences with service learning, you can sign up to have a poster presentation. The theme of this year's Showcase is focused on the evolution of service learning at UNO and how the Service Learning Academy has grown and developed over the years to the exciting future that lies ahead.
