Pre-Conference Workshop

Service-Learning Administration 101

Experienced service-learning practitioners who manage comprehensive community engagement programs and centers at both public and private colleges and universities in the southeastern region will lead an open discussion on the complex roles and responsibilities of a service-learning coordinator or director. The panelists will share information on building relationships on-campus and with community partners, finding program support, informing faculty research and coordinating faculty, student and community interactions. Panel leaders will begin by sharing their experiences, challenges and successes, as they worked to build viable and dynamic community engagement programs on their campuses.

This session will be of interest to those who are new or experienced at coordinating service-learning at their Institution. Join this open conversation. Let’s exchange ideas about strategies, important tips, political lessons, and lessons learned to build program capacity. There will be great handouts and discussion!
