Third Annual Faculty Symposium on Service-Learning: Promoting
Community/University Partnerships for Civic Renewal and Social Justice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
**An Open Invitation to All Interested Conference Attendees**
On behalf of the Illinois Campus Compact for Community Service
(ICCCS) I write to invite you, fellow students, and your favorite
professors to participate in the Third Annual Faculty Symposium on
Service-Learning on Thursday, April 8, 1999, and Friday, April 9, 1999, at
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The theme of this year's
symposium will be Promoting Community/University Partnerships for Civic
Renewal and Social Justice Through Service-Learning. Faculty, staff, and
administrators interested in the following topics will be interested in
learning more about this exciting professional development activity:
+ Creating sustainable community/university development partnerships
+ Developing community service-learning courses
+ Encouraging the study of environmental, economic, and social
problems from an interdisciplinary perspective
+ Establishing professional internships
+ Integrating service-learning into existing curricula
+ Promoting student voluntarism
+ Pursuing community-oriented research programs
+ Strengthening liberal education through civic education
The Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Dwight E. Giles, Jr., Professor of
the Practice of Human and Organizational Development, at the Peabody
School of Education at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Giles is also the former
Director of Cornell University's Field and International Study Program who
has authored three books and more than twenty-five scholarly articles on
the history, pedagogy and student learning outcomes of community-service
learning programs. He is a nationally recognized scholar and educator who
has worked with the administrators and faculty of more than fifty U.S.
colleges and universities to strengthen their community service-learning
programs.
Complimenting Dr. Giles' address will be various panel
presentations, concurrent workshops and issue round tables. Discussion
will cover such topics as: principles of good practice in community
service-learning; alternative approaches to creating sustainable
community/university development partnerships; guidelines for
institutionalizing community and public service programs; strategies for
promoting inter-institutional cooperation for community development;
recognizing, evaluating and rewarding public service in the promotion and
tenure process.
The Illinois Campus Compact for Community Service (ICCCS) is a
state-wide consortium of twenty public and private colleges and
universities. It was established in 1992 to promote student participation
in community and public service and to integrate service-learning as a
valued element of undergraduate and graduate education. ICCCS is part of a
national organization with more than six hundred campus affiliates. Campus
Compact achieves its goals by providing students, faculty and
administrators with training and professional development opportunities
surrounding issues of volunteerism, service-learning, and participatory
action research. In the past, ICCCS has organized meetings and conferences
to promote collaborative urban/rural problem-solving by community-based
organizations, local businesses, municipal governments and university
leaders; offered technical assistance to campus leaders seeking to
establish sustainable community/university development partnerships; and
provided grants, fellowships, and awards to individuals engaged in
innovating community and public service programs.
