The High Cotton Project: A Community-Based Method For Serving The Urban Homeless, Timothy J. Elliott, David A. Driskill
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
This article details the ways a series of architecture graduate classes partnered with a nonprofit youth sports organization and other community groups to design a shelter to accommodate those experiencing homelessness in Lubbock, Texas. The researchers use a case study approach to discuss how graduate students repeatedly engaged with the public for feedback on their designs and eventually created a design for a community-specific homeless shelter and treatment center. This article shares the project’s engagement methods, which included precedent studies, design charrettes, regular presentations to the public, meetings with stakeholders, and professional collaborations.
Bridging Education And Service Learning Through Palliative Care, Jamie Borchardt
Bridging Education And Service Learning Through Palliative Care, Jamie Borchardt
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Service learning can bridge the gap between traditional and transformational learning, as students are able to relate the course terminology directly to field experience. This project was set up to determine if volunteering for a semester at Hospice had any effect on emotional intelligence and positivity. A paired samples t-test compared differences in pre- and post-test scores on the Positivity Scale (PS) and the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT). The PS revealed a significant difference in pre- and post-test surveys: t(5)=-2.4, p=.03.

Fair Trade Learning Evaluation Of A Global Partnership, Roxanne Amerson, Jade Parker-Manderson, Chloe Garrison, Sarah Finleyson, Michelle Kunkle
Fair Trade Learning Evaluation Of A Global Partnership, Roxanne Amerson, Jade Parker-Manderson, Chloe Garrison, Sarah Finleyson, Michelle Kunkle
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Traditionally, evaluation of global service-learning (SL) programs has been highly focused on student outcomes, rather than community impact. Less documentation exists regarding the impact of SL on the partnerships between the community and higher education. The purposes of this case study are to present the concept of Fair Trade Learning (FTL) as it relates to global SL and demonstrate how the FTL Rubric can be used to evaluate a new global partnership.

The University of South Florida, a public research university, and the University Area Community Development Corporation Inc., a nonprofit organization, collaboratively developed a communitybased global learning experience for undergraduate students. We present the results of a study exploring the impact of the experience on students who participated across two semesters. Results suggest that student learning was enhanced across all intended student learning outcomes, though some outcomes were developed more than others.
From Reflection To Resumes: Alumni Perceptions Of A Multi-Term Public Service Program’S Connection To Career, Ryan Nilsen, Alanna Gillis, Bryant Hutson, Lynn Blanchard
From Reflection To Resumes: Alumni Perceptions Of A Multi-Term Public Service Program’S Connection To Career, Ryan Nilsen, Alanna Gillis, Bryant Hutson, Lynn Blanchard
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
This paper explores how alumni of a multi-term public service program understand the connection between the program and their career development. Qualitative data were collected from 393 alumni based on six open-ended survey questions. While career and professional development is not an explicit goal of the program, a thematic analysis suggests that alumni perceived that the program connected to career reflection, boosted their resume, and guided them toward a public service career or specific jobs.
Social Theories And Service Learning: Towards Building An Integrated Service-Learning Sociological Framework, Mark Anthony D. Abenir, Carol Ma Hok Ka
Social Theories And Service Learning: Towards Building An Integrated Service-Learning Sociological Framework, Mark Anthony D. Abenir, Carol Ma Hok Ka
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
This theoretical paper anchors service learning (S-L) in three broad sociological theories. From there, discussions on the actual implementation of S-L based on these theories are explained to build an integrated S-L sociological framework. Four S-L modalities of community engagement are identified—namely transactional, transitional, transformational, and transcendental—with their corresponding respective levels of community participation—namely consultative tokenism, placation, partnerships, and citizen control. The application of such a coherent framework is discussed in the context of contemporary service-learning practices and community impact.
Student Professional Competencies As Perceived By Community Service-Learning Partners, Maureen Snow Andrade, Jonathan H. Westover
Student Professional Competencies As Perceived By Community Service-Learning Partners, Maureen Snow Andrade, Jonathan H. Westover
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Service learning is a high-impact practice that helps students develop professional competencies such as teamwork, communication, critical thinking, and problem solving. This study investigated community partners’ perceptions of students’ professional competencies and their impact. Findings indicate that professional competencies had a significant impact on partner perceptions of project quality and value, while the overall predictability of the model to examine partners’ perceived likelihood to work on future projects with students was low.
Unfurling Your Community-Engaged Work Into Multiple Scholarly Products, Diane M. Doberneck, Christine Carmichael
Unfurling Your Community-Engaged Work Into Multiple Scholarly Products, Diane M. Doberneck, Christine Carmichael
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Navigating academic publishing challenges community-engaged scholars and practitioners, many of whom have mastered disciplinary writing but are unsure of how to write about community engagement experiences. The Unfurling Tool helps authors co-envision products with community partners, identify scholarly products for both academic and public audiences, and consider how to disseminate multiple products from a single community-engaged project. By unfurling a project, authors may communicate the rich complexity of their community engagement experiences to multiple audiences.

Findings of this study suggest that alumni perceive substantial impact on their civic and professional experiences after graduation because of their participation in such programs while undergraduates.
Minding The Gap: Negotiating Social Distance Across Service-Learning Experiences, Kendra R. Brewster, Melanie A. Fricchione, Melanie A. Fricchione, Phoebee Jean
Minding The Gap: Negotiating Social Distance Across Service-Learning Experiences, Kendra R. Brewster, Melanie A. Fricchione, Melanie A. Fricchione, Phoebee Jean
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
The qualitative analysis of the experiences of a small study of 23 service learners indicated that individuals negotiate social distance as they: (1) ascribe agency in action and affect to themselves and others; (2) consider whether they belong on-site and connect with others; and, (3) grapple with the structural inequalities that shape social life. In discussing the multiple dimensions of social distance, this analysis ends with questions that critical service learning practices and pedagogies can address.
Finding Common (Moral) Ground In Critical Service Learning: Promoting Balance And Civil Discourse Through Moral Foundations Theory, James Morgan Lewing
Finding Common (Moral) Ground In Critical Service Learning: Promoting Balance And Civil Discourse Through Moral Foundations Theory, James Morgan Lewing
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
Critical approaches to service learning courses may not innately maximize student engagement, civil discourse, and the confrontation of stereotypes. The purpose of this article is to propose the utilization of Moral Foundations Theory as a complimentary framework for service learning courses seeking to critically analyze systems and policies. Recommendations for practice and future research are included.

This autoethnographic case study analyzes how “ASAM 230 – Civic Engagement Through Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Studies,” an ethnic studies course created at a public, comprehensive university in partnership with a community-based organization, cultivates capacity for social justice through critical service learning. ASAM 230 purposefully manifests social justice principles, conscious equitable distribution of individual and structural power, and a focus on authentic, sustainable relationships, with conceptual, practical implications for social change agents and educators.
Institutional Type, Organizational Pathways, And Student Engagement: Deepening Student Engagement And The Benefit-Use Paradox In Formal Engagement Space, Prabhdeep Singh Kehal, Cadence Willse
Institutional Type, Organizational Pathways, And Student Engagement: Deepening Student Engagement And The Benefit-Use Paradox In Formal Engagement Space, Prabhdeep Singh Kehal, Cadence Willse
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
We explore how institutional types relate to individual students’ depth and breadth of engagement, and the degree to which organizational pathways can increase the presence of marginalized students in formal engagement structures. Institutional type and organizational pathways increase student engagement, particularly for marginalized students; however, students who participate at high levels are majority white and middle class. This illuminates how institutional type and organizational pathways operate jointly, and not as substitutes.

Students self-reported gaining greater intra- and interpersonal understanding and grief processing self-efficacy. Instructors emphasized intentionality and the intertwined nature of course experiences influencing meaning making.
Subversive Service Learning: Shifting The Locus Of The Problem, Neriko Musha Doerr
Subversive Service Learning: Shifting The Locus Of The Problem, Neriko Musha Doerr
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
This article introduces subversive service learning, a new type of critical service learning that shifts the locus of the “problem” from the marginalized group to the mainstream society, subverting both mainstream perspectives and the deficit model of a community being “helped.” Inspired by Whiteness studies, it pursues social change through service learning. This article illustrates how this subversive service learning works in three cases from the author’s college 200-level class in Fall 2016.

Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
This article discusses the unique situation of teaching an upper-level, undergraduate Spanish conversation course with a service-learning component at a large, public, urban university. With the help of service-learning literature and anonymous pre- and post-surveys, this study aims to offer some qualitative observations and advice on community-based learning for the non-traditional student. Even with the added effort in curriculum development and the imperfections of language instruction for non-traditional students, this article concludes that the implementation of service learning at the urban university can be a successful experience.
Beyond Objectivity: Examining The Effects Of Incorporating Civic Engagement Into Higher Education Journalism Courses, Jennifer Brannock Cox
Beyond Objectivity: Examining The Effects Of Incorporating Civic Engagement Into Higher Education Journalism Courses, Jennifer Brannock Cox
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education
This paper examines a case study comparing students in civic engagement-enhanced journalism classes with those in which civic engagement was not emphasized in a medium-sized Mid- Atlantic university. Students completed surveys at the conclusion of the spring 2017 semester assessing their attitudes toward professional journalism roles. Students in courses containing civic engagement work prized contextual roles and were more open to non-traditional forms of community engagement journalism than their counterparts, who focused more on interpretive/ disseminator roles.
