Service learning provides a "high impact," hands-on approach to learning about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) that not only engages and energizes students through real-world problem-solving, but also makes a difference in communities.
The CSU is committed to supporting and strengthening service learning in STEM across its 23 campuses and contributing to the national effort to produce more college graduates with STEM degrees.
