Abstract
Service-learning experiences abound on college campuses across the nation. Students enrolled in the course Housing and the Aging at Iowa State University could choose from a variety of service-learning opportunities ranging from friendly visits with residents in assisted living, conducting surveys, and developing programs and activities for senior day care centers. Maintaining a journal during the 10-week, 30-hour undertaking and presenting a poster at the end of the semester were required. Involvement in service learning proved to be both popular and successful. Students knew more about diversity among the aging population and the meaning of home and community at the conclusion of the course. Perhaps more importantly, students learned more about themselves and became advocates for the aging after having completed a service-learning experience.
