Capstone Project

My master's capstone/research project is in the area of
service-learning.  Specifically, I am seeking information about
service-learning models on university/college campuses and what core
components should be included in a service-learning model.  Since SOU
is a small liberal arts university of 4500 students, I would like
information appropriate to that size a campus. 

I am also interested in how service-learning affects retention and
quality of education.  Ultimately, my goal is to conduct research,
recommend a model to our executive committee and write a grant.

Any assistance, ideas, leads anyone can give me would be greatly
appreciated.
