Position Announcement

Greetings service learning colleagues,

I have recently accepted a position with our campus' center for instructional
development, and so my position as Director of the UWM Institute for Service
Learning is now available. UWM is an institution with outstanding leadership and
is presently refocusing its mission on university-community partnerships. To
this end, service learning as a pedagogical innovation fits nicely within this
vision and is experiencing significant growth, in part because of the
chancellor's significant support.  If you be interested in learning more about
the position, please feel free to e-mail me at <pribbeno@uwm.edu> or call at

Thanks, Dean
