Service - Having an appreciation of service and service-learning is one of the goals this program has for the Paideia Scholars. "Service learning" generally refers to "service" that is linked to the community outside the university. You will primarily be focusing on the Central Texas region during your first semester as a Paideia Scholar.

Collaborative Research & Creative Works - The Paideia experience requires students to engage in a meaningful research or creative experience in collaboration with an appropriate expert or artist while at Southwestern University. We believe faculty working with students in the development and completion of a research project or artistic endeavor is the best form of teaching.
