Office of Service Learning

Welcome to the Office of Service Learning!

The mission of Misericordia University's Office of Service Learning is to engage students in the development of life long civic responsibility through academic coursework. We believe that through service engagement, students will gain the knowledge, skills and commitment to make a significant impact on the communities in which they live. It is our goal to not just engage our students in learning through service but to instill a life long commitment to mercy, service and justice. Further, we believe that the combination of strong academics, career development and community service leadership will foster the development of citizens who will take leadership roles in creating communities where mercy and justice prevail.
