Student Resources

Tell me and I will forget.  Show me and  I will remember. Involve me and I will understand."  - Chinese Proverb                     

• Click L-A's definition button at left.  Many faculty at L-A offer courses with a S-L component.  Some kind of reflective activity and approximately 10-20 hours of course-related service for or in the community is usually required.  This option varies by instructor.

• Review the S-L Course List.  It includes courses offered on every USM campus, but may not include every course offered.

• Refer to the Reflection Guide for ideas and questions to ask yourself as you think about your service experience and how it relates to your coursework.

• Read about Student Responsibilities before you begin your first S-L experience.  While these are guidelines only, it is important to remember that while you are in the community you are a representative of USM/L-A.
