Abstract:	Service learning involves students completing relevant work that fills a real unmet need in a community. Participants at this roundtable will explore possibilities for service learning in statistics courses and discuss the implementation of service learning opportunities for statistics students. Specific topics will include identifying statistical needs in the community, tailoring projects to a statistics course syllabus, incorporating a service component into a statistics course, assigning statistical tasks to students, and ideas for assessment in service learning statistics.
