Public Service Faculty

From school reform and the role of education in a democratic society to youth political engagement, service learning, and community development, faculty members in the Department of Public and Community Service Studies bring theory to practice—preparing future leaders to create positive change.

Our faculty includes nationally recognized scholars who have helped to shape the field of community service learning. Together with our Community Partners, they offer students a dynamic opportunity for personal and professional growth-both inside and outside the classroom.
