Service learning projects were incorporated into the curriculum of an undergraduate course entitled "Biology of Women". The goals of the service learning projects were: 1) to provide students with the opportunity to consider issues pertaining to human biology in real-world settings; 2) to foster student engagement with the community; and 3) to promote student awareness of community resources that are directly relevant to women's health issues. The success of the service learning projects in meeting these goals was assessed via analysis of student reaction papers, classroom presentations, and surveys administered at the end of the semester. Assessment results indicate that the service learning projects promoted student awareness of community needs and resources, demonstrated the relevance of course content to real life, and led some students to consider future service opportunities and/or careers in the field of women's health.
