Service Learning and Community Engagement

Service learning is an innovative, educational approach that enables students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world situations while positively impacting their communities in responsible and sustainable ways. The program aims to help students develop their professional skills, leadership potential, and commitment to service. It offers various service learning opportunities such as volunteer projects, community service projects, and study abroad programs that combine cultural immersion with service opportunities. 

Through the program, students can develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, build their professional network, gain a deeper understanding of their communities and the issues they face, and develop a sense of civic responsibility. The program’s ultimate goal is to provide students with opportunities to build their skills, gain valuable experience, and develop a lifelong commitment to service.

Multicultural Student Services

At VCUarts Qatar, diversity and inclusion play a crucial role in creating a dynamic and inclusive community. We are committed to fostering an environment that supports all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, or socioeconomic background.

To achieve this, the Student Life and Engagement Office offers a variety of programs and initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion. These include celebrating cultural diversity, identifying speciality groups, workshops and training sessions designed to educate students on various topics related to diversity and inclusion, and community service programs. These experiences allow students to build relationships with each other, give back to their local community, make a positive impact, and most importantly, work with people from different backgrounds and gain a greater appreciation for diversity while also providing spaces for similar students to feel support, advocacy, and trust.
