​ LEARNING
 Learning has to precede authentic effective service.  We cannot serve until we first  learn. We have to learn about the people and the communities in which they live  before we can even think about "making a difference" Once we learn then we can  serve.

 SERVICE
 When  we serve we "look beyond or own needs and catapult the needs of others to  the forefront. Engaging in acts of service reminds us that our greatest responsibility  is to "others." 

 CALLING 
 Not only are we called to do this in our own "back yards" through local acts  of SERVICE, but some are even called to serve developing communities globally.    In  villages and small towns throughout the world, families are coping with the

 effects of  limited social and economic resources. 

 RELATIONSHIPS
 Through relationship building, collaborative planning, educational and economic  investments and grassroot activities, developing communities in global regions can  begin to embrace sustainable growth.  To have experience  GLOBAL  SERVICE students have to venture beyond the four walls of the classroom and  outside the perimeter of the college campus. 

 SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN...
 The classroom only provides a portion of the knowledge that is available to every l  learner. There is so much more to learn about people and cultures; political and  economic structures and educational and heathcare systems around the world..  When we fail to go beyond our places of familiarity, we miss opportunities to go  beyond the single story and standard educational paradigms that have limited our  growth and our ability to effectively respond to the demands of both local and global  communities. Not only are we obligated to serve one another, we are invited to serve  beyond our borders.
