For Faculty

Service-learning at CSU have long played a critical role in carrying out the university’s strategic commitments to outreach, diversity, enhanced student learning, instructional innovation and effectiveness, and student retention. Since 1992, Colorado State University has established a nationally-recognized model of service-learning instructional development that has provided university faculty access to a variety of important resources for integrating service and outreach into their academic coursework. To learn more about academic service-learning and the resources and support available to CSU faculty through TILT, view our information for faculty.

For Students

CSU is dedicated to facilitating meaningful undergraduate experiences that expose students to diverse cultures through community involvement in a broad array of activities that extend learning, foster leadership skills, and promote civic responsibility. Service-learning classes are one important way that students can develop important problem-solving and critical thinking skills while learning about and helping meet needs in the community. To learn more about the benefits of service-learning and about the service-learning classes and opportunities at CSU, view our information for students.

For Community Agencies

TILT, in partnership with the Office of Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement (SLiCE) is committed to promoting reciprocal and collaborative partnerships between CSU faculty, students, and community agencies. The purpose of service-learning is to create “partnerships of mutual benefit” in which academic course objectives, student interests, and the needs of community groups are balanced and reciprocally supportive. TILT and SLiCE offer various resources and opportunities for community non-profit agencies to recruit student service-learners, to communicate with CSU faculty, and to gain information about how to access university resources for their service needs. To learn more about current resources and opportunities, view our information for community agencies.
