Public Work at Colgate administrator. I actually thought that I would be one of those people who moved back and forth between the nonprofit/government to university worlds. But, I became excited by academic administration. I came to work for a great college president, Rebecca Chopp. Brown: In your “Social Change” piece, you say that “there is neither one magic factor nor even one linear process that leads to universities becoming an agent of social change.” If so, does that mean that what is happening at Colgate cannot be replicated somewhere else? Weinberg: The lessons learned can be replicated. I am a community organizer and educator, at heart. I don’t think that there is a one-size-fits-all model. But, I do believe that we can train people with skills, concepts, and theories to build their own paths for their own communities. Brown: And now…? Weinberg: I am not sure! I am having fun. When an institution takes up public work/civic education as a driving principle you can achieve amazing results on students, faculty research, community development, alumni, and parents, and even helping to shape the agendas of foundations and trade associations. In my current role, I was able to advocate that civic learning become a top priority for Colgate. We are on the verge of universities becoming more relevant … or we could be.… I wanted to be part of that process. I also see management as another arena of public work. In three years, we have managed to deprofessionalize our student affairs division, recentering it around notions of public work. This is my own way of thinking about and contributing to a “democracy through the workplace” movement. Having said that, I am ready for a new set of challenges. In January ‘06, I will be moving to World Learning to become the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and the provost of SIT —the School for International Training. I want to spend the next phase of my career working on civic education in more global settings. World Learning has been a leader in this field. They are also the only academic institution with a large international development operation. At any given point, they have about 3000 people working 117
Agent of Democracy in over 100 countries on social and economic development projects. This position blends my dual passions for civic education and community development. Brown: Thank you, Adam. 118
