Having provided this background, I will demonstrate how the Community Service Link exemplifies learning-centeredness at George Mason University, using the Ten Principles as a frame. My primary source of evidence comes from the student voices recorded in the Reflection/Analysis section of their field notes and a final reflective writing, in which students used their field notes as evidence for sociological patterns they had discerned in their fieldwork.

Two caveats are needed at this point. First, in perusing these principles, although delineated separately as a means of analysis and focus, I noticed how interconnected they are. Consequently my application of these principles in my students' field notes quickly revealed this web. And so, what I have chosen as examples in one principle could also be apparent in another.

Second, I have disrupted the order of these principles as presented in Potter's inventio article by moving the Principle of Social Interaction and the Principle of the Learning Climate to the end of the list. These two principles seem to encompass the previous eight, and I think the weight of the evidence that I provide from student comments bears out this assertion.
