Florida State University has been pre-selected by the service-learning advisory committee for inclusion in the inaugural edition of the Guide to Service-Learning Colleges and Universities. General information about service-learning in higher education will be included as introductory material in the Guidebook, based on information resources acquired from the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse.  The Guide will profile four-year colleges and universities as well as two-year institutions and community colleges that are leaders in service-learning. Selected institutions demonstrate that they integrate community service with academic study to enrich learning, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities while using a deliberate and planned approach in order to fulfill the standards of service-learning.
