About Bringing Theory to Practice

The Bringing Theory to Practice Project (BTtoP) seeks to advance engaged student learning and determine how it might improve the quality of students’ education, development, health, and commitment to civic engagement. As a first step, the Project is exploring specific forms of engaged learning (including civic or service-learning and community-directed collaborative research) and their effectiveness as elements of campus plans to intervene or deter alcohol abuse and depression among students.

Mission

The Bringing Theory to Practice Project (BTtoP) explores and promotes how engaged forms of learning requiring active student involvement and reflection contribute to the resiliency and health of students. The Project encourages faculty and academic leadership to strengthen an essential focus on learning, and thereby to strengthen the health, as well as the individual and civic development of today’s college students.
