Making Our Community a Better Place
Sally Anastos, director of Academic Service-Learning at the University of New Haven, says service-learning allows the University to come together and participate in a shared cause of improving the community.
“It is through these types of activities that we learn that we have more in common than what separates us,” she says. “Whether students are mentoring youth, giving nutritional information to daycare providers, or offering dental care to uninsured or underinsured populations, we are all helping to make our community a better place.”
