| Abstract: | Outside work can complement what goes on in the classroom in ways that benefit both the community and students. Of course,
AQ readers may have heard of tendentious programs and faculty ideologues, who channel student enthusiasm into partisan activism.
Still, statistical survey analysis presented here by Mary Prentice suggests that participation in service learning can increase
students’ civic engagement, when civic engagement is defined as more than just political action.Outside work can complement
