SL and chief academic officers - publication

* Please excuse cross-postings * 

The American Association of Community Colleges has produced
a new publication, "Sustaining Service Learning: The Role of
Chief Academic Officers."  This project brief summarizes a
series of meetings and conversations with CAOs from colleges
that have participated in AACC's national grant project,
Community Colleges Broadening Horizons through Service
Learning.  

The brief considers benefits of and strategies for service
learning sustainability, including how and why to sustain
service learning in tight fiscal times; how CAO commitment
to service learning affects policy development; and how
service learning helps meet the mission of community
colleges. 

The entire text of the eight-page brief, along with other
helpful resources and information, may be found on AACC's
Web site at www.aacc.nche.edu/servicelearning (click on
"publications").  Printed copies of this and other Horizons
briefs are available for $1.00 each from the AACC Service
Learning Clearinghouse (e-mail grobinson@aacc.nche.edu). 
For orders of 20 or more, contact the Community College
Press at 800/250-6557 or aaccpub@pmds.com (refer to order
#1551).  

AACC's service learning initiative is supported by the
Learn and Serve America program of the Corporation for
National and Community Service.  If you have any questions
