A growing number of DU faculty members are involved in Service-Learning, Public Good research, and engaged scholarship.  Professors from a variety of disciplines teach service learning courses, covering, but not limited to, the fields of: Education, Business, Political Science, Digital Media Studies, Psychology, Chemistry, and English. 

Public Good is an opportunity for higher education to play a role in the public life of communities by applying its knowledge and intellectual resources for the purpose of enhancing student learning, faculty research, social capital and community development.

Service Learning, or Community-Based Learning, brings students face to face with the world outside of DU, through:

• Active learning that links traditional academics with community service
• Opportunities designed to deepen and expand classroom learning through thoughtful, collaborative engagement with community organizations, agencies, educational institutions and the people they serve
• Structured analysis, critical thinking, and reflective writing assignments

CCESL manages the Public Good Fund and Service Learning Fund, which provide funding to faculty, staff, and departments to promote service learning and community capacity building.
