This seminar includes resources for faculty members interested in establishing or strengthening a service-learning course including learning outcomes of diversity and community engagement.

Creating Nonprofit and Education Partnerships that Promote Volunteerism and Inspire Learning

10:30am-12:30pm – for community organizations

Accessing the resources that universities offer can be challenging. Sometimes it seems like it's either flood or famine – with either more (or the wrong) connections than you need or being faced with resounding silence. This workshop will provide you with vocabulary and a map to higher education and Sonoma State University in particular so that you will have the tools you need to build the collaborative partnerships you want.

Richard Berrett

Lasting Learning through Service Learning

Each faculty member approaches classes with the hope that what is taught will be remembered beyond the test. Unfortunately, there are far too many examples of short-term memory and long-term forgetting. This workshop will provide those who attend the opportunity to explore how service-learning, community engagement and other experiential learning approaches increase the likelihood that learning will have a long-term personal, professional and community impact.

Richard Berrett, CSU Scholar on Service Learning
