“Service Learning gives students that experiential aspect of learning where they can actually see in practice what they’ve been learning about, which makes it more real."

Dr. Angela Liegey-Dougall, as a health psychology professor, sees service learning as a natural fit in collaboration with health behaviors, interventions to change, appeals to the community on health policies and so on. She teaches with service learning as she sees it as a great opportunity for her students to see the things discussed in class
put into practice.

Dr. Liegey-Dougall started out working with the UTA health services on campus and, upon joining the service learning Faculty Fellowship, expanded out into the community. Apart from the UTA health services on campus, Dr. Liegey-Dougall has worked off campus with various community partners including the Boys and Girls Club of America, Salvation Army Youth Education Town, Mission Arlington, Freedom Hospice, The American Heart Association, The Arthritis Foundation and Hope Tutoring amongst others.

A highlight of being a part of the Faculty Fellows for her has been the connections she’s been able to make with Fellows. She advises faculty to make good use of the resources available through the Center for Service Learning, as developing a service learning course is a commitment.
