Join us virtually for the Spring 2025 Eagle Showcase! This year’s Eagle Showcase: Excellence in Service-Learning was held as a virtual edition, where students were honored for their outstanding service-learning projects through social media campaigns on the Office of Leadership and Community Engagement (OLCE) platforms and featured in Georgia Southern’s Digital Commons Library. We invite you to explore their work below and celebrate their contributions to community engagement and academic excellence!

Supporting Children in Foster Care Through Communication & Awareness
This poster highlights a health communication and advocacy plan for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) under CASSEGA. The initiative aims to reduce child abuse and neglect in Southeast Georgia by creating educational materials, increasing volunteer recruitment, and informing the public through a detailed factsheet. The project incorporated feedback from CASA representatives and plans future evaluations to measure campaign success.

Tobi Oloyede
Promoting Child Safety Through Strategic Messaging
This communication campaign focuses on raising awareness about child abuse in the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit through CASSEGA’s Prevent Child Abuse Ogeechee initiative. The team developed factsheets and outreach materials, engaged in community service activities, and plans robust evaluation strategies to track impact. The campaign aligns with national health priorities and promotes early intervention and support for at-risk families.
