• The AACC study explored the impact of service-learning courses in urban education at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Surveys were administered to students and faculty over three years, focusing on six learning outcomes: critical thinking, communication, teamwork, civic responsibility, global understanding, and academic success. Results showed that service-learning students scored significantly higher in five out of six learning areas compared to non-service learners. Students reported increased retention of academic content, improved reasoning, leadership skills, and confidence. Faculty also observed the positive impact of service learning on student motivation and career aspirations. Service learning was seen as instrumental in providing students with real-world experiences that enhanced their learning and prepared them for future academic and professional endeavors. Overall, the study highlighted the importance of service learning in promoting student engagement, fostering personal and professional growth, and contributing to their overall educational development.

• This study investigates the impact of a critical service-learning course in urban education within predominantly White institutions (PWIs). Employing qualitative research methods, the investigation examines students’ reflections, assignments, and course evaluations to evaluate the course’s effectiveness. Throughout the study, students participated in service projects aimed at addressing genuine needs in urban schools, collaborating closely with their community partners. These initiatives encompassed various activities, such as establishing food pantries, organizing afterschool programs, and curating culturally responsive libraries. Analysis of the data revealed that the course facilitated critical reflection through service learning, while also challenging students’ beliefs by nurturing a strong commitment to social justice. Additionally, participants developed improved self-awareness and recognized asset-based perspectives prevalent in marginalized communities. This was achieved through maintaining established mutually respectful relationships with community partners to teach students these skills. The study demonstrated that this transformative educational experience equipped students with the necessary tools to advocate for equity and enact tangible change. It underscores the significance of critical service-learning in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion imperatives within PWIs.

• This article investigates the integration of community-engaged learning (CEL) into an undergraduate social research course, emphasizing sustainability issues. Through structured CEL methodologies, including guest lectures and collaboration with community partners, students gained practical research skills and deepened their understanding of sustainability challenges. Findings highlight the benefits of CEL in enhancing traditional classroom learning by fostering teamwork, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Additionally, students demonstrated increased confidence and civic engagement, contributing to meaningful societal outcomes while acquiring academic knowledge. Overall, the study underscores the transformative potential of CEL in promoting active learning, preparing students for real-world challenges, and cultivating a sense of social responsibility, particularly in the context of sustainability education.

• This study, conducted at a Midwestern teaching institution, investigated the impact of a semester-long civic engagement initiative on student learning and community involvement, particularly in the realm of mental health awareness. The research employed roundtable discussions as a service-learning tool within criminal justice courses, fostering dialogue on mental health issues. Methodologically, the study utilized self-constructed questions and the Civic Engagement Short Scale Plus (CES2+) to gauge participants’ endorsement and internalization of community engagement. The findings revealed a significant increase in participants’ willingness to engage in community discourse and advocate for social justice following their involvement in the initiative. These results highlight the efficacy of service learning in enriching educational experiences for students and faculty. They also underscore its role in nurturing a sense of civic responsibility and a commitment to social justice among students.
