Abstract
Service to the local community has become a part of the college tradition as more campuses incorporate service into their curricular and co-curricular cultures. Roger Williams University parallels this trend. Service has evolved from “a nice thing to do” to an important element in our academic and co-curricular culture. We have outgrown the blanket term “service” and can place campus-wide service activities in three distinct categories: community service, service learning, and civic engagement. While based on the common goal of promoting active citizenship, each category contains distinct experiences with distinct learning outcomes.
