Faculty perspective on The Service Learning Associate (SLA) Program:
Gaining an Undergrad Community Research Colleague
“My main challenge involved thinking

such different interested parties.”
“Service learning courses and
classes that engage in communitybased research involve a large
number of stakeholders.”
