Service Learning
The School of Social Work has long standing partnerships with communities in South Africa. In January of even years, students can travel to Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa for two weeks to explore ways in which various communities have responded to addressing the Global Goals. Students will understand the specific challenges within these communities and work with members of our host country to assist them with responding to their identified needs.
