HI,

I've enjoyed this list serv.  I"ve especially appreciated all that's been 
provided in response to the terrorists attacks.  Your information has 
allowed us as a staff to respond to  events on campus very quickly.

On another note...

I am trying to guide oour senior staff through thinking about where 
volunteer service fits and relation to service learning. And where 
leadership fits in relation to service learning.


I am looking for the following information:

Is there a model where Service Learning and Volunteer Services is separate?  
If so, why was it designed that way.

It appears most of you have service learning and volunteer services together 
- aside from the obvious (that you are talking with the same community 
resources) are there other reasons to have it that way?



I am also working with the curriculum committee / academic side to try to 
guide them through some thoughts about reduced class time when service 
learning is required.

Could you share with me the standards your universities have set (if they 
have) for standards of class time versus volunteer time.  For example - 
University of Denver (I am told) has a standard for instructor of for every 
2 hours of service there is one hour off of class.  I'm wondering if others 
have such a standard.  We know we need to help the instructors realize how 
to balance service and papers and class time - but needed some standards 
from other universities.

(Note please respond to aspowers@uncg.edu)
