Universities remain relevant by engaging with their communities, acting as resources that bridge academia and society. Community-engaged teaching, particularly service learning, integrates community needs into the curriculum, providing students with experiential learning, civic engagement and personal growth. This approach connects theory to practice and fosters social impact. For international students, it offers cultural immersion, fostering global perspectives and empowering community impact.
