Community-University Partnerships & Service Learning (CUPS)
About CUPS
The CUPS Office was founded in 2003 to support service-learning courses at the University of Vermont. In 2011-2012, over 80 service-learning courses were offered, reaching approximately 1,850 students with community-based learning opportunities. We train 25 students a year to work as Service-Learning Teaching Assistants in these courses, and we collaborate to offer research fellowships to students who conduct research for and with community organizations. We work with faculty in every school and college of the University; connect to community partners in Burlington, Vermont, the US and overseas.
