Service Learning Activity Summary

  • UNV 101-01 worked with the R.E.P. (Rosenwald Empowerment and Preparation) Academy. Kentucky State University students served as mentors for the high school students and met with them weekly.
  • UNV 101-02 and UNV 101-06 worked on several service projects throughout the semester with the Office of Regional Stewardship and Public Engagement. Students worked the 911 Service Day Fall Arts Festival at Josephine's Sculpture Park. Students participated in various activities from assisting with parking to face painting/crafts and giving away food. For the observation of national peace day on Wednesday, September 21 students participated in a 1k peace rally to the Capitol. Halloween on the Hilltop was another fun and exciting service project students participated in where they were able to give candy and create creepy crafts in celebration of Halloween. They also gave out food and played fun games with the children. Attendance at the Reality Store activity was encouraged for all first year students, but these two sections used their class time to attend this activity. Overall, the Reality Store was a hands-on, interactive, educational, life experience that was sponsored by Kentucky Employees Credit Union and the Frankfort Area Chamber Staff. Similarly to the game of "Life", each student received an assigned occupation and monthly income based on the luck of the draw. They then proceeded through the Reality Store – booths manned by business community volunteers that represented everything from housing choices to taxes. In each instance, the student must make a choice and reduce the corresponding cost from their income. The point of the simulation game is to make choices that fit within the assigned income and allow for unexpected expenses! Students really enjoyed this activity because it gave them a sense of what life would be like after college. To conclude the semester on December 3rd, we had a full day of service for Family Volunteer Day. We began the day at the Greenhill Cemetery were some students cleaned the grounds by picking up trash and removing
