History of Service-Learning at Chaminade University

Service-Learning has been a part of the Chaminade University academic scene since 1994, when the Hawai’i State Campus Compact was formed. In 1995 we offered three service-learning (S-L) courses. Since then, we have offered more than ten times that number. A variety of S-L courses in every discipline have involved more than 30 faculty.

Much of our work in service-learning is supported by grants from the Corporation for National and Community Service (grants administered by the Hawai’i and Pacific Island Campus Compact) and the Hawai’i Community Foundation. Chaminade University provides a Director to support the collaborative successes of our students, faculty, and community partners through its Service-Learning Program.
