Community Service Learning

     Bradford’s motto "Surgo Ut Prosim - I rise to serve" points to a long-standing tradition of community service at the College. Service is a central part of Bradford’s "practical liberal arts" philosophy. The volunteer possibilities are limitless. Students work with a variety of community service agencies including a local Boys and Girls Club, a homeless shelter, several elementary and middle schools, the conservation department, and a nursing home just to name a few. Students begin having community service opportunities as early as New Student Orientation and these experiences continue on either a volunteer basis or through our curriculum. Several core and elective courses integrate service as an integral part of the coursework. Here students connect the learning that takes place in the classroom with hands on experience.
