AB  - Service-learning is a high-impact practice that fosters civic responsibility by providing opportunities to connect student learning in the classroom with real-world experiences in the community. Studying abroad provides students with opportunities to learn how to navigate different cultures, work with diverse peers, and gain new perspectives and global awareness. The Mercer on Mission (MOM) program at Mercer University in Macon, GA bridges service-learning with short-term, faculty-led study abroad opportunities to provide transformative experiences for students through academic instruction, cultural immersion, applied research, meaningful service, and personal reflection. In this study, the MOM program was evaluated for its impact on student participants. Program evaluation included a holistic assessment of the program. Research goals included evaluation of effectiveness in program preparedness, global competency, and knowledge transfer. A series of survey questions were developed to evaluate the research goals. Pre- and post-program surveys were administered anonymously to student participants. Both quantitative and qualitative survey data were analyzed to determine the program strengths and weaknesses. Findings show the value of pre-program preparation, faculty support, and building relationships with community partners. The results of this study provide holistic data that will help improve students’ experiences and the overall MOM program.
