SERVICE LEARNING

All Coker students participate in service learning in their very first year through CC101. Coker College has been named to the President's Honor Roll for Community Service. Spanish majors and minors continue to participate in service learning through select courses. Many Spanish majors choose to do service learning internships for their Senior Practicum. Our majors have worked with HeadStart, local public schools, and the Girl Scouts.
