I have been on campus since 1993 and before that I was involved in higher ed in a couple
of different ways. And over the years, I have not seen any tool, any resource, any learning
experience that has been as significant for a student's personal, professional and academic
development as I have when students get involved in service. And that is true across the board
over the years. It doesn't matter the major, it doesn't matter what the students are doing
and I think that service has a very unique way of tapping into each person's own interest
and skills and really helping that to blossom in some ways that almost no other experience
can do. And so for me, service and service-learning is really at the root of what we do here and
that is to help improve the student's development and also improve the community through service.
