MountainServe Center for Global Citizenship Learning by Serving Where the Ground is Uneven LHUP has credit and non-credit bearing opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to engage in service- learning. The students serving in these places and partnerships engage in these initiatives for a number of reasons, often blurring the lines between service performed for classroom learning, theses research, scholarship requirements, clinical skills building, and personal commitment. This education and the development of global citizen scholars are too important to be contained by a single classroom. The future of our common humanity depends on how well our students learn the lessons our places, whether those places are in the Northern or Central Appalachians, the Sierra Madre Occidental, the High Atlas or the profoundly changed landscape of the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast, are teaching them. MountainServe invites you to come and join us in serving, learning and listening to the stories and lessons that come to our students from places where the ground is incredibly uneven. **********************************************************************
Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
