The future of our common humanity depends on how well our students learn the lessons our places, whether those places are in the Northern or Central Appalachians, the Sierra Madre Occidental, the High Atlas or the profoundly changed landscape of the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast, are teaching them. This education and the development of global citizen scholars are too important to be contained by a single classroom. The students serving in these places and partnerships engage in these initiatives for a number of reasons, often blurring the lines between service performed for classroom learning, theses research, scholarship requirements, clinical skills building, and personal commitment. LHU has credit and non-credit bearing opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to engage in service-learning. Lock Haven University’s commitment to community engagement is primarily met by the MountainServe Center for Global Citizenship, established in 1998 by its director Anne-Marie Turnage.
