Office Systems Program Service Learning
The Office
Systems Service Learning
program is part of a capstone course, which is the last course
students take before completing the requirements of their
associates degree in Office Administration.
Service-learning is a teaching method that integrates community
service with academic study. The activities students
engage in reinforce understanding of course topics and promote
program goals. Students have the opportunity to interact
with organizational personnel and understand the importance of
the various roles of an organization. Furthermore, the
student can contribute to society and learn to understand civic
responsibilities and contemporary social issues, such as
diversity. Additionally, service-learning builds
self-confidence and self-esteem, develops leadership skills,
enhances teamwork abilities, fosters ethics and social
responsibility, and helps students develop social and personal
skills. Organizations that wish to mentor an Office
Systems student for a service learning activity should contact
the Service Learning Coordinator, Pamela Miller, at 483-1593 or
millerp8@lcc.edu.
As part of its service learning program, LCC will provide an
Office Systems faculty member who will be responsible for
facilitating and evaluating the service learning experience.
The faculty member will serve as the primary communication link
between the community partner and LCC. Students will
engage in 15-30 hours of service activities that will have
direct contact with the community partner and/or its clients.
The student will expect no remuneration for his/her educational
experiences. The community partner will provide
orientation to the student and a resource person
(mentor/supervisor) who will assist the LCC faculty member in
guiding the student?s learning experience and will participate
in evaluating the student?s performance. The community
partner will have the right to terminate any student who is not
participating satisfactorily or safely in this placement.
