Reflection

Volunteer work or community service that has an
academic component is often highly valued by human service
professionals. Teaching, social work and nursing are fields that
welcome an individual who has a track record of giving to others and
who has reflected on that effort.
At Seton Hall, the
Service Learning Institute
assists students as they participate in service learning.
Tutoring, field experiences, and student
teaching are all examples of service learning, unpaid extended
contributions that are awarded academic credit when successfully
completed. Other service learning activities that college students
have done for academic credit include: serving in a soup kitchen,
building a playground, creating a community garden, serving as a
literacy volunteer, delivering meals on wheels, building homes
for Habitat for Humanity, reading for the visually impaired, assisting
for Special Olympics, leading an after-school program, or guiding
activities for the elderly in a senior citizen home. These activities
enable students to empathize for diverse and sometimes
disadvantaged groups as well as gain in self understanding. A
journal, research paper, presentation to a local community group, or a
curriculum can be reflective products developed from these experiences
that display what students have learned from their experience.
