Description
Previously I discussed integrating service-learning into four public relations courses at Grambling State University. Students selected nonprofit organizations and worked toward enhancing the organizations’ reputations. They produced press kits for clients, and students received grades. The students receive hands-on practical experience while enhancing organizations’ visibility. By applying the service-learning principles of learning, service, and reflection, students combined their classroom learning with hands-on experiences that benefited the organizations as well as the students. This presentation will explain how service-learning can be expanded to our entire department, especially internships.
