> service learning and institutional change at liberal arts colleges and universities

Conference Participants

In May of 2003 Venture co-convened a working meeting entitled, "Service Learning and Institutional Change at Liberal Arts Colleges and Universities," hosted by the Service-Learning Program at Franklin & Marshall and sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service.

In addition to the Venture Board of senior academic officers, faculty members, recent alumni, community-based learning administrators, career services administrators, and religious and spiritual life colleagues participated. Faculty participants included those who have incorporated community-based learning and those who haven’t but who are interested in integrating student learning and issues of social justice.

Wagner College President Richard Guarasci shared a vision for a curriculum and a co-curriculum for the "arts of democracy," and Franklin & Marshall College President Fry called for a "true institutional commitment to our local communities." In addition to information gathered from the first two dialogues, many new issues of common concern were articulated. The conference left many of us inspired by a call to renew our commitment as educators and institutions towards an ethic of responsibility.
