Work, and Learning are committed to working closely with students, faculty, and the community to provide off-campus opportunities for students that will enrich and expand their learning in the classroom and also to help students make good career decisions. The Center was founded on principles of experiential education and promotes the integration of theory and practice. We believe students will be better prepared for lifelong community and civic engagement -- and meaningful careers -- when they combine structured off-campus community service, internships, and work experiences wth their Augsburg education.
We can visit with individual faculty or departments to give an overview of CSWL and explain how we can assist you. Faculty are encouraged to visit our office in Anderson Hall (lower level) anytime.
