Marshall University is committed to improving our community.
Marshall University values collaborating with community organizations to support a better understanding of local and global issues, and to apply concepts beyond the classroom. The Community-Based Learning Program strives to connect you with faculty members and students not only to build relationships that are beneficial to the community but also to students.

- A community-based partner that provides a service or presents a need relevant to course content
- Mutually beneficial to the community and to students of Marshall University
- Deliberate and structured reflection by students throughout the course experience
- Assisting in development of young professionals as they move towards the workforce
