Service Learning
Human existence is based upon the ability to create, comprehend, and communicate meaning. Our attempts to establish this meaning lead us to develop symbolic relationships that ultimately define our community and culture. As the arts have always been a part of the foundation and framework of our cultural heritage, we need to preserve this vehicle of meaning.
