Service Learning is a hallmark of the CCESL. Faculty incorporate community engagement components into their course content to enhance student learning. Students complete 10 hours of service and receive the "SL" designation on their official transcript.
CCESL awards project stipends to UHD students and staff once per year to carryout creative and innovative projects that create a positive impact in the Houston area. Applications open in the spring for projects to be carried out over the following academic year.
Community Engagement Work Study
Students who have been awarded federal work study funds through the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid are eligible to use these funds to work at select off-campus non profit organizations in the Houston area during the fall and spring semesters.
We also host a summer internship program open to all UHD students. Applications for this program open each spring for the following summer period.
UHD students, staff, faculty and friends gather together on National Days of Service to perform service projects all over the Houston area. GatorServe events help the UHD community fulfill its duty to our neighbors and helps students gain lasting experiences!
