Position Description

Colleagues,
        Please review and distribute the following position 
description. While this is not a service-learning position 
per se, it is in a program that uses many of the same 
foundations of experiential education,e.g.  reciprocity, 
critical reflection, community university partnerships, 
etc. It is also in a dept. that requires a freshman 
community service-learning lab for all 750 of its majors.  
Also a number of faculty, in addition to Janet Eyler, have 
scholarly interests and projects in service-learning. 
        As some of you know-this is the position I have 
held for the past eight years. Effective January 2001, I 
will be starting a new venture in my career as a Professor 
of Higher Education Administration and Senior Associate at 
New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE) 
at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.  
        For the next  month or so, the best way to contact 
me during the transition is at this e-mail address. After 
February 1, you can call me at 617 287 7601.
        I look forward to staying in touch with my 
service-learning colleagues.
Best Wishes for A Happy new Year.

Dwight Giles.
