Description: This 90-minute workshop is designed for faculty interested in integrating service-learning into an existing course in intentional, feasible, and meaningful ways. Drawing on the development and refinement of a multi-cohort faculty learning community, the session introduces participants to key principles of service-learning pedagogy and offers practical strategies for course redesign.

Participants will explore how service-learning can function as a high-impact practice that deepens student engagement, connects course content to community-identified needs, and supports experiential learning. The workshop will focus on essential elements of service-learning course design, including aligning service activities with course learning outcomes, developing reflection assignments, identifying appropriate community-based projects, and navigating common implementation challenges.

Because faculty approach service-learning from different disciplines and levels of experience, the workshop offers adaptable entry points for those new to community-engaged teaching as well as those seeking to strengthen existing practices. Through guided activities and concrete examples, participants will begin mapping out how service-learning might be incorporated into one of their own courses.

By the end of the session, participants will leave with a stronger understanding of service-learning pedagogy, greater confidence in redesigning a course, and practical ideas for implementing a service-learning project in their teaching.

Description: "If you flood the world with information, truth does not rise to the surface, it sinks to the bottom."  - Yuval Noah Harari

A number of scholars have recently argued for the following theses:
- Democracy is not possible without broad public access to good information
- The rise of artificial intelligence currently threatens wide public access to good information
- Societies ought to be investing in the norms and institutions that are able to reliably sort truth from (all varieties of) misinformation

In this workshop we will briefly present these arguments, and then critically evaluate them as a group, while discussing how they pertain to our work and our roles at SRJC, and strategizing ways to protect our institution's reputation as a reliable source of knowledge for our community in the age of AI.
