Service-Learning Courses
All students are required to take one service-learning course while at Walsh. This aligns with the Walsh mission of developing students to be leaders in service to others.
Service-Learning courses change each semester, so students are encouraged to look for the "SL" designation in the course catalog prior to registration.

Study Away, Study Abroad, & Immersions
The Office of Service-Learning offers immersion programs and experiences for Walsh students. Whether to Canton, Cleveland, Cincinnati, across the country, or around the globe, these experiences are designed for students to witness how organizations and individuals are addressing challenges and making positive change in their community and for students to learn how they can do the same in theirs.
