Community Service and Spirituality: Integrating Faith, Service, and Social Justice at DePaul University

This article examines how a faith-oriented institution, DePaul University, seeks to deepen students' community service experiences and faith commitments by integrating community service with faith and social justice commitments. This institutional case study of DePaul University's efforts may provide some insights into the linkages between faith and civic engagement and how colleges and universities, both faith-oriented and secular ones, can utilize community service experiences as a means to help students grow morally and spiritually in higher education settings in ways that prepare them to be more ethical and engaged citizens.
