Service Learning at NFCC<br />
NFCC is committed to the concept of service learning. Service learning is a form of learning that<br />
incorporates community service experiences into the curriculum. Students taking courses with a service<br />
learning component may be involved in activities focused on meeting community needs that can be<br />
linked to academic and civic objectives. The opportunity for students to re ect on the service learning<br />
experience is also essential.<br />
NFCC is working toward establishment of service learning objectives in a wide variety of curricular<br />
offerings. These objectives complement the classroom experience. Students completing courses with a<br />
service learning component will have a special notation posted to the student transcript. Service learning<br />
is widely recognized as a positive experience by most institutions of higher education and often provides<br />
students with resume’ and college admission advantages.<br />
