Summary/Abstract: Service-learning has been proven to be one of the high-impact educational practices in higher education. Over the last decade, service-learning has gained momentum in colleges and universities across the globe, reflecting its demonstrated benefits for faculty, students, and partnering organizations. For communication science students in particular, service-learning represents a valuable pedagogy, contributing to skills development, and providing structured opportunities for reflection. Drawing on a qualitative case study exploring the integration of service-learning into a communication science curriculum, this paper seeks to present the main institutional and pedagogical challenges associated with this process for faculty and proposes evidence-based strategies to address them effectively.
