Karol Weaver's American Women class

Brad Rousse offers his technical expertise to Susquehanna University’s production of The Vagina Monologues. Read about Brad's experience here.

Service learning was certainly creative and different. I think running the lights at VM was definitely an experience. It truly put women's historical struggle in theater into personal perspective for me....I think it really brought the subject material to life with an unexpected intimacy.

Jenn Siegenthaler, Meghan Murray, and Justin VanFleet attend "Go Red for the Heart," a talk that they organized. Read a summary from Jenn here.

Jenn Siegenthaler on service learning as a learning technique:

I do think that the service learning component enhanced learning in the class. I will admit that on the first day of class it seemed a little overwhelming, but once I figured out what my project would be it was very manageable. The service learning also really made me think about and consider the texts we were reading and the discussions/lectures in class. My project and my paper were always in the back of my mind as kind of an overarching theme as we learned about the role of women throughout American history. The project also made me feel good, like I (along with Meghan and Justin) was in a small way helping make the SU community a little better by bringing attention to and providing information about an important issue.
