Monica Lieblong and Mariandree Ramirez were honored as part of the Annual UCA Service Learning Award Ceremony. Monica couldn’t attend, but her face made an appearance. The UCA Service-Learning Program hosts an annual awards reception to recognize outstanding community engagement work by students, faculty, and community partners. The Service-Learning Program is part of the Division of Outreach and Community Engagement (OCE) at UCA. Academic service-learning is a course-based teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility and strengthen communities. “Outreach is proud to recognize the outstanding work of these students, faculty and partners,” said Shaneil Ealy, associate vice president of OCE. “Service-learning is built on meaningful collaborations between the campus and community, and we appreciate the hard work of all involved to make an impact together.”
