Student Learning and SuccessAt IUPUI, students have many opportunities to take part in curricular and co-curricular community-basedengagement opportunities such as service learning courses, internships, community-based research, servicebased scholarship programs, alternative break trips, field study, volunteerism, and community work study.Research shows that participating in service during college is a predictor of future behaviors such as attendinggraduate school, earning higher degrees, donating money to one’s alma mater, socializing with differentracial/ethnic groups, and participating in volunteer/community service work after college1. IUPUI providesresources to assist students in preparing for, accessing, and succeeding through community engagement.Community-Based Learning CoursesTable 1.1 includes data regarding community-based learning courses the Herron School of Art & Design offeredduring the 2014-2015 academic year, as well as the previous three years.
