Volunteering Now Part Of Many Classes
By Heather Bowser
HARRISONBURG — At Eastern Mennonite University, volunteering isn’t just something students do for charity — it’s a requirement.
Three years ago, the university implemented a 'Global Village Curriculum,' a campus-wide effort to study cultures around the world and in the local community.
Since then, the number of classes and professors that require community service has increased 'dramatically,' EMU officials say.
Now, almost half of the 900-member undergraduate student body will participate in some form of community service every semester, says Deanna Durham, EMU director of community learning."
