Advocating For Integration: Acculturation In A Non-Profit Serving Immigrants Organization, Daniel Calderon

SPACE: Student Perspectives About Civic Engagement

This paper presents acculturation practices in a non-profit, serving immigrants organization in a Midwestern city in the United States. Although the programs and services offered at this organization become pertinent vis-à-vis the welfare of the immigrants, their expected outcomes seem to foment the Americanization of the organization’s clients.

Through a critical examination, certain services and practices within this organization respond to a unidirectional process of acculturation, in which the immigrants turn out to be the ones who have to acquire certain sociocultural and linguistic repertoires for them to adapt and fit in the U.S. mainstream society.

The utilization of the …

As group for a communications course at the College of Southern Idaho (CSI), we were a part of a service learning project. The project goal was to do a coat drive for the college refugee program.

We got the word out by creating and posting flyers, and posting in the college newsletter. We set up donation boxes around the college. We were able to donate two giant Home Depot boxes of coats to the program.

嶺南校園 : 建築遊賞, 嶺南大學服務研習處

OSL Students' Service-Learning Project Output: Booklet

此書是在賽馬會「關愛‧ 服務‧ 研習@ 屯門」計劃下，通過嶺大學生與社區人士合作的一系列服務研習計劃，所產生的重點產物。而這個廣泛合作的計劃，由嶺南大學服務研習處營運，並由香港賽馬會提供資助。出版這本書主要有四個目的：首先，利用此書向公眾展示嶺大校園的美態，並介紹其歷史與文化價值；第二，適逢嶺大於香港復校五十週年，出版此書正好作為慶祝和標誌的一部分；第三，通過此書突顯長者與學生之間，是如何達致跨代共融；第四，以此書展示服務研習配合學術課程的良好效果，與不同學科的整合是如何實踐。

此書的由來，緣於服務研習處安排了一些社區長者擔任藝行大使，於8月25 日的嶺大迎新營帶領校園導賞團。長者運用自己的歷史知識，於導賞團集中介紹嶺大校園的建築及自然生態特色。其後，一些藝行大使為兩組嶺大學生，安排了相類似的校園導賞團，希望從中訓練學生，學習對嶺大校園的不同部分作介紹。兩組學生於大學修讀兩個不同學科的課程，當中包括有68 位修讀的「CLA 9015 記遊 書寫」及有7 位修讀的「CLA 9014 創意數碼影像」。

經過藝行大使的訓練後，「CLA 9015 記遊 書寫」的學生，於 2017 年 10 月 21 日的嶺南大學資訊日為公眾人士舉辦校園導賞遊。對於這次籌辦服務的經驗，學生都有所反思，並將相關文章收錄於此書內。而「CLA9014創意數碼影像」的學生，則學習為校園的建築及風景拍下有意義的照片，其作品亦已成為此書的插圖。兩組學生均可從教授的教學上，學習到應用相關的技術和概念。而藝行大使亦為此書提供了詳盡的內容及歷史記敘。
