Center for Engagement and Community Development
The Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellowship is a leadership and professional development program for students in their final year at Kansas State. One component of the Fellowship is that students serve as volunteer coaches for Manhattan Parks and Rec youth sports teams in the fall. Engaging with and mentoring youth gives students the opportunity to not only seek growth in the youth they serve, but also develop their own leadership skills. Students learn how to build a cohesive team throughout the fall by establishing positive relationships with the youth, communicating effectively, and sharing life lessons youth can use outside of their …
Reviewing The Structure And Function Of Self-Described Living Labs, Katherine Nelson
Reviewing The Structure And Function Of Self-Described Living Labs, Katherine Nelson
Center for Engagement and Community Development
“Living labs” have been promoted in recent years as platforms for engaged and locally-embedded research. However, the term itself is somewhat vague and applied in a large variety of contexts. Living labs have a wide variety of goals and functions and are perhaps even more varied in their organization structure. This poster provides a preliminary review of self-described living labs, characterizing both the types of functions they serve and their organizational structures, with the goal of identifying functions and structures appropriate for engaged research on and in the Wildcat Creek Watershed.

Partnerships between universities and community organizations contribute to sustainable community development by creating networks of resources that may not otherwise exist among university faculty, students and community members. Service learning serves as a vessel for connecting and strengthening these resources; however, barriers within universities limit effective practice. University faculty members often cite time constraints, coordination challenges, and lack of support as deterrents to the incorporation of service learning projects in their courses. To overcome such barriers, universities can implement institutional structures and programs that facilitate community-engaged learning. A case study of the Service Learning Academy (SLA) at the University of …

Engaged Service Learning Shapes Students’ Individual Identities, Fostering Community Stewardship, Grace Nelson, Ali Al-Ghaithi, Haley Jessen
Center for Engagement and Community Development
Service learning creates a space for transformative learning to occur, employing a framework that unites practice and theory with reflection. Service learning that gives students a sense of responsibility for outcomes and is perceived as significant enhances student efficacy. This integrative work meaningfully connects students to a deeper understanding of academia, the community, and personal identity. The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) has a Service Learning Academy (SLA) that facilitates service learning projects. We analyzed qualitative responses of open-ended questions collected from a post-survey given to UNO students enrolled in a service learning course in the spring or fall …

Dr. Carcasson, Director of the Center for Public Deliberation at Colorado State University, presented a framework for addressing polarization through Deliberative Engagement. This framework invokes the “wicked problems” presumption, requires dealing with uncertainty, a focus …

Languages Divided: Segregation And The Role Of Linguistic Prejudice In Speaker Evaluation, Mary E. Kohn
Languages Divided: Segregation And The Role Of Linguistic Prejudice In Speaker Evaluation, Mary E. Kohn
Center for Engagement and Community Development
This talk presents research on the role of segregation in perpetuating language differences in the United States. Evidence from a 20-year longitudinal study demonstrates that participation in so-called "Mainstream American English" correlates with access to majority-white schools and neighborhoods. Given the extensive research on linguistic discrimination, I will facilitate a discussion on how linguistic differences must be considered when creating environments for civic discourse.

Farm To Fork Or Farm To Landfill?, Barbara L. Goode
Center for Engagement and Community Development
K-State Pollution Prevention Institute (PPI) is addressing food system issues. Promoting local food means preventing excess travel, while also reducing fuel and energy needs. PPI facilitated a Salina-area food system assessment where stakeholders identified the need for local food aggregation and more opportunities for distribution. PPI also worked with rural Kansas institutions and Wichita Dillons stores to reduce food waste using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s food recovery tools. Summer interns helped grocers identify various opportunities for source reduction and food diversion. For example, instead of going to the landfill, surplus food went to hungry populations.

Food Deserts In The Breadbasket: A Rural-Urban Comparison, Michael J. Miller, Patrick S. Rissler
Center for Engagement and Community Development
This research seeks to better describe and understand rural and urban food deserts. Previous research on food deserts suggests that, as a result of discriminating structural social mechanisms like redlining and neighborhood disinvestment within large metro areas in the U.S., poor and black individuals and households tend to be at a distinct advantage in terms of healthy food accessibility and availability (Miller et al. 2015). Similar trends in grocery store disinvestment have been seen in rural areas though there has been less research attention in these areas. In this paper we analyze the differences and similarities between the dynamics that …
