During 2014-2105, the Division of Community Engagement collected and reviewed publicly available community assessments to gain a better understanding of community-identified priorities. Twenty-four (24) reports from the past 10 years (2005-2015) were reviewed for their geographical focus, explicit population of interest, data collection methods and stated priorities. The common priorities that emerged from this review are included here, along with the associated recommendations from the assessments. This effort was not intended to replace other assessments, rather as a means to understand the overarching priorities that have been identified through these various community assessments.

In 2014-2015 the Division of Community Engagement and the Office of Planning and Decision Making undertook an effort to explore Virginia Commonwealth University’s (VCU) impact through an anchor framework. Anchor institutions are place-based entities that are, “tied to their surroundings by mission, invested capital, or relationships to customers, employees, and vendors.” As such, they are significant economic drivers in the region. Universities are unique anchors because they can also leverage their knowledge generating capacity and partnerships to improve community well-being.
This effort included a review of the concept of anchor institutions and how that concept has been applied to universities. …

Faculty Development For Service-Learning: One Size Does Not Fit All, Lynn E. Pelco, Catherine Howard
Faculty Development For Service-Learning: One Size Does Not Fit All, Lynn E. Pelco, Catherine Howard

This conference presentation describes the development of the professional development continuum currently being used at Virginia Commonwealth University to build the faculty’s capacity for teaching high-quality service-learning courses. Our professional development continuum was developed over the past 5 years by the staff of the VCU Service-Learning Office and was informed by program evaluation data, the principles of adult learning theory, and an “exposure-experience-expertise” developmental framework. The continuum targets instructors at varying levels of service-learning knowledge and experience so that faculty instructors with more service-learning experience participate in different professional development opportunities than do instructors who are new to the pedagogy.

In an ideal world, instructors would begin the process of planning for their service-learning course at least one year in advance of teaching it, but sometimes that is not the case. Use these steps to get started whether you are one year or a few weeks out before the semester starts.
