Community-Based Learning
Community-based learning can include a variety of modes, including volunteering, collaborative projects, clinical education, and study trips. Many community-based learning courses at the University of Richmond center around larger initiatives, including the Eco-Corridor on campus and the restoration of African American cemeteries across Richmond.
New Knowledge for the Public Good
Community-engaged research engages faculty and community stakeholders in meaningful research together and is published both in disciplinary journals and in journals dedicated to community engagement.
Resources for Community-Based Learning Students
Community-based learning succeeds when students further their own learning through experience and reflection and give valuable information or service to the community partner.
