Volunteerism is an integral part of the culture on our campus. All CMSRU students will engage in service learning projects within the community as part of the curriculum. The outreach efforts will be directed based on community needs as expressed through focus groups and at the recommendation of our Community Advisory Committee. We believe that immersion of our students in this fashion will provide them with a more realistic view of the social, economic and cultural influences/barriers facing our urban and rural communities. CMSRU outreach to schools, homeless shelters, soup kitchens and churches demonstrate our commitment to the community and make concepts taught in the classroom more tangible. CMSRU is already engaged in service learning projects with LEAP Academy, Lanning Square Elementary School and Volunteers of America.
