University of New Haven (UNH) criminal justice student and Killingworth, Conn. resident, Christopher DiStefano '10, is now known as "the new hero of Omaha" by his fellow classmates for his brave act of saving two drowning children at Omaha Beach in Normandy, France on May 28, 2009.

While touring the historic beaches of Normandy during the UNH Art and Science Summer Study Abroad Program, Christopher came upon a French couple screaming frantically and pointing toward the ocean. Though unable to translate French, he noticed a young boy struggling to keep his head above water. He immediately removed his clothes, dove into the water, and began swimming. Once he reached the boy-40 yards out-he discovered a second child completely submerged under water, the young boy's sister. He helped the boy swim to shore and swam back to save the other child. Both children were brought to shore safely and reunited with their grateful parents.

Service Learning is a pedagogical approach that combines learning objectives with service objectives to deepen students' understanding in a specified academic discipline. Service Learning is a form of experiential education where students participate in scheduled direct service to enhance learning objectives. Unlike traditional classroom settings, students apply their skills and knowledge outside the classroom by participating in community service projects that benefit the community as a whole. The service meets an actual community need and enhances what is being taught in the classroom.

Students reflect on their experience to link their community service project with their classroom learning. Whether the reflection activities are carried out through reading, writing, doing or telling, students examine their experience and apply their knowledge in real-life situations. Service Learning enriches the learning experience, develops civic responsibility, and strengthens communities.
