Service Learning Workshop: The first section of the workshop will provide information on general service learning tips that everyone should know.  This will be a great chance for first-time service learners (or those who want a refresher) to get information on the program, the student’s role, other helpful hints and explanations, and how to get the most out of the service learning experience.

In the second section of the workshop students will break into specialized groups depending on where they are doing Service Learning.  The specialized groups will be:

• Spanish Training: will address many issues specific to doing service learning for a Spanish course.
• Tutor Training: recommended for those students who will be tutoring children in grades K-12.
• Community Awareness: will help service learners to become acquainted with the diverse populations 

     in Milwaukee and the role(s) of MU students in the community.

Service learners will be able to choose the group that will best help them in their service learning experience. The workshop will be a great time to meet the Student Coordinators, and Service Learners will be credited hours toward their course requirement for attending.

Service Learning Contracts and Timesheets: Contracts will be collected during the week of February 18th.  Please have them completed and ready to hand in.  Course objectives must be filled in, or the contract will not be collected. We ask that you take the contract very seriously and fulfill your semester-long obligation to the agency.

Timesheets are collected during the last week of classes.  Again, please make sure they are completed, signed, and ready to hand in the day that your Student Coordinator is scheduled to pick them up.  Timesheets will not be accepted without the signature of the agency contact. Make sure the contract and timesheet are both signed by your supervisor at the site before you hand them in!
