What the Faculty Say ...

Jamie Wilson

I enjoy integrating service-learning into the Foundations of Civic Engagement course because it melds my two passions – helping students and the community. Through this course, students explore the service-learning journey as well as what it means to be an engaged member of the community, all while gaining valuable life and career skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, and communication.”

Foundations of Civic Engagement is one of my favorite classes that I get to teach at FGCU. Helping guide passionate students as they create and complete a community service project is inspiring. And engaging with curious minds on what it means to be an Active Citizen in our communities leads to fascinating conversations about our time and place in society.”
