Abstract
The University Honors College at Oregon State University has intentionally integrated civic engagement into the new student transition experience. Within a first-year student population, this academic college has infused a critical view of service-learning into the initial student experience. Campus leaders, students, and community partners work together through a 'Morning of Service" project to bridge the gap between an academic college and a service-learning office, as well as between campus and community. This event serves not only to foster critical service-learning and provide a needed service to the community, but also to intentionally support student transition into the university. Assessment results highlight that service-learning projects are successful in accomplishing academic learning objectives as well as welcoming students to their new college environment.
