The UCLA Center for Community Learning engages undergraduates, faculty, and community partners in courses that integrate teaching, research, and service. Our work in Los Angeles, the state, the nation, and in the global community connects the research interests of faculty and students with the priorities of our community partners. This lunchtime session will begin with an overview of these academic programs, including the undergraduate minor in Civic Engagement and our contributions to the “UCLA in LA” initiative. Faculty members with experience teaching service learning courses will present examples of their curricular innovations.
