Service-Learning Assessments

  • Survey for Students
    We would like to know students' thoughts about service-learning. If you would take a few minutes for our service-learning student assessment survey, we would appreciate it.
  • Survey for Community Partners
    The goal of this assessment is to collect actionable feedback from community partners and implement improvements to successfully address community partners' concerns.

Reporting Service Hours

UIndy is overjoyed to acknowledge the students who embark in their path with service-learning. In order for students to receive the acknowledgment they deserve, hours must be documented through HoundsConnect. HoundsConnect is a UIndy service platform that offers students the opportunity to find, track, store their service hours, as well as share their service-learning resume. UIndy students are able to track their service hours for service-learning courses, registered student organizations, individual use, and to include on official UIndy transcripts. Students may also search through a variety of community needs that are available in the Indy community, posted by our community partners. UIndy students can log in to the platform using their UIndy credentials at houndsconnect.uindy.edu.

Location

The Center for Service-Learning & Community Engagement is located in Esch Hall, Room 134.
