For more studies about how Service-Learning can impact student retention see Campus Compact's article \"How Can Engaged Campuses Improve Student Success in College.\"<\/a> Several studies are cited in the article which concludes: \"These findings complement other researchers' conclusions that high-quality service-learning is effective pedagogy, contributing to the intellectual, social, and civic development of students that, along with persistence to graduation, is a key measure of student success.\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
