The Service Learning Experience
The Service Learning Experience is one of the pillars of the Holy Cross Experience which will help students gain the competence to see and the courage to act. This phrase, from the Constitutions of the Brothers and Priests of Holy Cross, points to the connection between education and action. Thus, the Service Learning Experience is focused not just on performing charity or on studying ideals of Christian love. Rather, students gain valuable self-knowledge about the ways in which they are called to serve in the world.

Serving to Learn & Learning to Serve
Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility and strengthen communities. Every semester, a dozen courses across the curriculum enable Quinnipiac students to reach out to the surrounding community. Class time is balanced with a major assignment performed at a community agency, followed by personal and academic reflection on the experience.

Structured Learning Assistance
The SLA Program grew out of a need to reach large numbers of students who would not normally seek academic assistance voluntarily. We discovered courses that students would traditionally struggle with in their programs. As an effort to help students be successful, we sought to provide a method of direct transference of study skills and learning methods to those content areas. Research literature indicated that students should be taught study skills that will apply directly to the content area. The SLA program devised a way to do that.
