Incorporating Service Learning in the Fashion Curriculum

---

Abstract

Service learning is an instructional strategy that utilizes a form of experiential learning and is encouraged on our campus. Faculty, along with students, identify needs in the community and, within the framework of their class objectives, address these problems or issues while simultaneously advancing students’ knowledge and skill in their field. In this way, students learn by actively participating in a community project and actively apply course concepts in a real life manner.
