The Center for Service-Learning (CSL) provides opportunities “to enrich the campus and community through educationally meaningful service that helps students become socially responsible citizens.” For the past ten years, Coordinator of Service-Learning Ann Tobin has helped students turn these opportunities into positive outcomes.

From tutoring and mentoring programs in local schools and on-campus, to service-learning projects in a variety of IU East courses, Ann has helped IU East students grow personally and professionally. She has facilitated partnerships with numerous community organizations and schools and served as the advisor for the Circle K International student service organization, which is the collegiate branch of the Kiwanis.

Some images of Ann’s service engagement over the past decade can be found here and featured in this blog. Service-Learning highlights and information about the many programs that Ann helped implement are also included in the resource guide,

As we say a fond farewell to Ann, we welcome Angles Lakes as the new Coordinator of the Center for Service-Learning. Angela has extensive experience serving the community, notably as a Communities in Schools site coordinator at Fairview elementary school in Richmond.
