Connections and commitment...that's the essence of Villanova's community philosophy, which joins local residents and Villanovans in service work of all kinds.

At Villanova, students do everything from planning Masses to spearheading neighborhood clean-ups... tutoring first-graders to organizing one of the nation's largest student-run Special Olympics.

While many colleges and universities require service for credit, Villanova embraces service learning for life.
