About Us:
Find us on the first floor of Hitchcock Hall in the Upper Quad.
We work with dozens of community agencies and can assist you in finding a connection that reflects your interests, fits your schedule and meets the needs of our community. The Office of Community Service & Learning (formerly the Partnership for Social Action) was established over 10 years ago as a part-time program of the Office of Student Affairs. Since that time, as the commitment to service has grown, so have we. Located on the first floor of Hitchcock Hall, we work with numerous student service organizations, dozens of service-learning faculty in a variety of academic programs and community agencies and literally hundreds of committed individuals each year.
