The Center for Service Learning
There are many reasons why we volunteer. The desire to help others, meet community needs, gain experience, learn new skills, indulge an interest, or to explore a career are all valid reasons for volunteering. Whatever your motivation, the Center for Service Learning at Harper can help you to find the ideal volunteer opportunity. The Center serves as a clearinghouse for service opportunities and actively recruits students, staff, and faculty for projects or placement with local community agencies. Specifically, the Center can

• help any student, faculty, or staff member find a meaningful volunteer opportunity
• help students find service opportunities appropriate for specific courses
• create and maintain a service transcript for any volunteer placed through our office
• work with clubs, student organizations, employee groups or departments to develop a service project either on- or off-campus.

Additionally, the Center provides the framework and methods to link service with the curriculum. The Center facilitates the development of service-learning courses and options while assisting faculty in the placement and support of service learners. Services provided include:

• technical assistance for faculty developing service learning courses including handbooks, research, and model program literature from our library of resources
• logistical support including assistance with the placement, monitoring, evaluation, and recognition of service learners
• class visits and presentations
• assistance with obtaining grant money for service learning programs.

For more information about service learning or volunteer opportunities call the Coordinator of Service Learning in the Student Activities Office (A336)–extension 6225.

Student Senate
The Student Senate is the student government body through which students are represented to the Board of Trustees, administration and faculty. Members are responsible for recommending the student activities budget which provides for a variety of social, cultural and recreational activities as well as special programs and services. They also act upon student concerns, appoint students to College committees, review and recommend changes in College policy, recognize student clubs and organizations, and in general promote student welfare.
