Welcome to the JoAnne Gay
Dishman Department
of Nursing
Community Based Service Learning (CBSL)
CBSL serves as a valuable alternative methodology to assist students in achieving nursing program clinical competencies. At Lamar University’s JoAnne Gay Dishman Department of Nursing, CBSL is defined as:
“a philosophy of education which emphasizes active, engaged learning with a goal of social responsibility…it is reciprocal learning, dynamic and interactive… which suggests mutuality in learning between the student and the community with whom he or she is actively engaged” (J. C. Kendall, 1990, Combining Service and Learning, Vol. 1, pp. 22-23).
- Students may find a listing of pre-approved agencies, agency promotional materials and current CBSL activities in a 3 ring binder in the Learning Center, Room 112.
- Activity logs and intent forms may be printed from this web page.
- Complete policies for CBSL for both the Associate and Baccalaureate Degree programs may be found in the Undergraduate Nursing Studies Student Handbook.
- For questions or concerns, please contact Donna Wilsker, Coordinator for CBSL Activities at 409-880-8838, Room 223 of the Mamie McFaddin Ward Health Sciences Building or email donna.wilsker@lamar.edu.
