File pdf 497KB

In order to deepen the learning about how organizations apply ethics and engage their local communities, students examined their ethical behavior and the level of involvement with community and/or charitable causes. The students united together around a shared interest through creating structural mechanisms, and social processes in which they served in a meaningful way. These structural mechanisms and social processes generated student impact. The experience transformed those served as well as those who serve resulting in an increase in the practice of servant behaviors and a sustainable community of servant leaders.
