Chancellor’s Speeches

Bridging Two Worlds: Professional Service And Service Learning, Deborah Hirsch, Ernest Lynton
New England Resource Center for Higher Education Publications
Authors of this essay, also published in the NSEE Quarterly, argue that proponents of service-learning and faculty professional service should join forces to pursue a common agenda of community outreach. At a time when colleges and universities are being urged to help solve society's problems, the faculty represents a virtually untapped resource. Certainly, there are presently - and always have been - individual faculty working in the community as consultants or as supervisors and guides for students.
