interdisciplinary service learning

Dear Colleagues,

Is anyone aware of any interdisciplinary service learning programs or 
research done on interdisciplinary service learning at other colleges 
and universities?

Faculty and students from Nursing, Physical Therapy, Speech Pathology 
and Occupational Therapy at the University of Michigan-Flint, 
Michigan State University and Grand Valley State University are 
working collaboratively to run a 5 day overnight camp for adults with 
Huntington's Disease in Howell, Michigan.  A team of one student from 
each of the four disciplines will work with a group of 6 campers for 
the entire week.  The goal of this approach is that students not only 
learn about their own discipline through service, but also about 
other related disciplines.  The faculty involved in this project 
would like to conduct some research following the camp experience on 
the effects of interdisciplinary service learning on students' 
personal and professional growth, and we are looking for assistance 
from other who may have done similar work.

Any information you could provide would me much appreciated!

Thank you!
