Re: Community Service'Service Learning Awards?

At the Swearer Center for Public Service we select a book for each 
senior graduating from our department, but we also compile a shared 
bibliography.  Each graduating student and current staff member lists 
2-3 books that have inspired them or challenged them in their work. 
The list grows each year and is distributed at graduation and used 
throughout the year as a resource.
