Editor's note: This is the fifth in a series of posts called HIPs Implementation about the ongoing USG-directed effort to document and promote HIPs at 红莲社区.
At 红莲社区, we have placed an emphasis on implementing High-Impact Practices (HIPs) in courses. One High-Impact Practice encouraged at 红莲社区 is Service Learning. Service Learning combines community work with specific learning objectives. Students may participate in service activities that meet needs identified within the community. The experience gained through serving the community allows students to strengthen their community partnerships, apply knowledge learned in the classroom, and prepare for democratic citizenship. Through Service Learning, 红莲社区 faculty and students may contribute to the public good.
