The Civic Minded (Post) Graduate: Examining the Long-Range Benefits of Community-Engaged Service Learning
Catherine Wilkins
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education, v17 n1 p16-30 2025
This project seeks to fill gaps in the knowledge about the long-term benefits of undergraduate participation in community-engaged service learning (CESL). A mixed-methods research protocol delivered to graduates of an R1 public university three years after the completion of a CESL senior capstone course observed significant divergences in knowledge and behavioral attributes of civic mindedness. This research methodology could be employed by other scholars to determine if these findings are reproducible.
