Faculty students and community persons attend conferences and have made several presentations. One faculty member, Dr. Amal Abu-Shakra is preparing an article for the AAHE biology monograph series. The Director is preparing an article for the History monograph series. As least four faculty members, one student and three community agencies are involved in the National Society for Experiential Education project that documents the best practices for sustaining community-university collaboration. The University has not made it an explicit part of tenure and review process.
Efforts are on the way to integrate it.
Each year the Community Service Program conducts a Service Learning Audit to determine the number of courses, faculty member, semester offered and number of students taught per semester. The Community Service Program has 100 agencies. The service learning courses have work with 40 or more agencies. Community Service agencies are intricately involved in the design, class discussions, and implementation. Agencies also provide comments during reflection sessions.
