Feedback on Recent S-L Teleconference

by Bonnie Wetzel

Dear Stephanie and colleagues,

I attended a viewing of the S-L teleconference at SUNY Geneseo along with several other colleagues from area colleges/universities.  We were all very impressed with the quality of the program.  It is divided into several sections titled:

In addition participants receive a packet of information to go along with the video.  I found it very information for faculty, administrators, service coordinators etc.  Thus, I recommend it for your university.

The strengths include an impressive view of the benefits of service-learning especially from students who gave powerful examples of the their experiences.  It also gave useful "how to's" concerning institutionalizing S-L on campuses (i.e., faculty affairs); I was very impressed with information about the International Partnership Program for S-L (study abroad); and finally the information of the role of faculty and how to get them interested in the pedagogy was beneficial.  The weaknesses are its length (3 hours) and its cost.

We plan to show the video to members of our College Campus Compact Committee, to faculty and to administrators.  However, we will show different segments to each of these groups rather than the entire video.

I'm curious to hear from others who have seen the video.  Everyone who attended the teleconference, in my group, thought it would be useful in helping them move the service-learning agenda forward.

I hope this helps.

Greetings,

Our office is looking into purchasing the video from the April 6
teleconference "Linking Citizenship and Scholarship Through Service
Learning: A National Imperative".  If you participated in this
teleconference, would you please pass on a line or two of evaluation? Is it
worth owning, and how is it best used? Strengths and weak areas?

Thanks much!

Stephanie
