WEDNESDAY, MAY 25th 3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS BY COMMUNITY/HIGHER EDUCATION PARTNERS Select one of the eight sessions outlined below (continued on page 21). Smith 323 Smith 236 Smith 296 Smith 262 Smith 328 Advancing Campus Community Partnerships: Course Design and Institutional Integration In its efforts to promote service learning as a complement to its undergraduate curriculum, the Community-based Learning (CBL) program at the American University in Cairo (AUC) is unique among universities in the Arab world. While the program has been successful in implementing service learning, CBL still faces challenges in institutional support through curriculum integration and evaluation of community partnerships. Student participation and faculty interest remain strong allowing partnerships to flourish. In light of this, the assimilation of CBL into the core curriculum remains to be seen. This study attempts to understand the impact of institutional integration of campus/community partnerships by asking faculty and community partners to assess the impact of course design and institutional support on them. The session will include research findings, strategic planning, and capacity for replication at universities in Egypt and other Arab countries. Assessing Community Impact and Leveraging Civic Engagement Data for Capacity Building Collecting, analyzing, and disseminating civic engagement impact data involves strategic methods and creative planning. This session will provide multiple assessment frameworks, examples of data analysis and display, and opportunities for participants to use existing and newly learned skills to create a civic engagement assessment impact plan. The goal is to provide participants with ideas and strategies for utilizing existing or newly collected data to inform program improvement, student learning, effective faculty-community partnerships, enhanced client services, and successful securing of grants and other funding sources. Presenters: Christine M. Cress, Ph.D., Educational Leadership & Policy, Postsecondary, Adult, & Continuing Education (PACE), Graduate School of Education, Portland State University, and Sarah Drummond Hays, Research Associate, Portland State University Sustainability and Reciprocity in a Partnership Community in Mexico City, ITESM, and Santa Fe Undergraduate students include communitarian Learning- Service strategies to improve citizenship, social participation and responsibility. Tecnologico de Monterrey Campus Santa Fe has developed enterprises around the campus. Students develop ethics and citizenship competencies that allow them to transcend their student life through curricular and cocurricular experiences. Kecskes and Kerrigan confirm that the undergraduate terminal courses are most pertinent to include an involvement and commitment to citizenship integrated within curricula. This is an example of social methodology implemented in a Latin American country (Mexico). Presenter: Dolores Chavez, Professor, Instituto Tecnologica y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), Mexico Video Vignette Sessions Capturing the complexity of community-university partnerships is often best done visually. Documenting the stories and impact with the use of video helps bring to life the human element inherent in these partnerships while also being an effective marking and communications tool. IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), North Carolina State, and Portland State University have produced several of these videos and have provided them for preview during this session. Relax and enjoy. Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis North Carolina State Portland State University The DEEP Service Model: Sustainable, Development, Reciprocal Community Partnerships In 2007, Siena College embarked on the development of a new model of partnership with Community Based Organizations (CBOs). This new model sought to take into account all of the best practices known in the field at that point, as well as emerging trends in higher education partnerships. Presenters: Jennifer Simek, AmeriCorps *VISTA, Siena College; and Matthew Johnson, Director of Academic Community Engagement, Siena College Presenters: Amy Newcomb Rowe, Program Coordinator, American University in Cairo, Egypt; and Amani Elshimi, Program Director, American University in Cairo, Egypt 20
3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS BY COMMUNITY/HIGHER EDUCATION PARTNERS (continued from page 20) WEDNESDAY, MAY 25th Smith 329 Friend or Foe: A Five Year Journey to Build Trust and Share Power in a Campus- Community Partnership Niagara University's Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC) was established in 2005 in order to build capacity and improve the quality of life for Niagara Falls (New York) residents. This interactive workshop will describe a five-year journey to build trust and share power in one university-community partnership. From the unique perspectives of both community members and university representatives, the presentation will highlight several tipping points along the way in a transformation that began amidst initial tensions and resistance and ended with mutual respect, collaboration and reciprocity. Through a series of short role-play exercises and small group discussions, participants will confront some of the challenges in building relationships based on trust and shared power. The presentation will also discuss the intentional steps that Niagara University has taken internally to insure partners that it is friend and not foe to the community. Presenters: David Taylor, Associate Professor, Niagara University; Charletta Tyson, Executive Director, Highland Community Revitalization Committee, Inc.; Jill Shuey, Executive Director, ReNU, Niagara (COPC); Willie Dunn, Service Coordinator, Niagara Falls Housing Authority; and Adrienne Leibowitz Director of Sponsored and Research, Niagara University 3:45 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. BREAK Smith 327 Introducing a Culture of Community Engagement within Chicago Public Schools Our presentation will focus upon lessons learned from DePaul University’s initiative to promote sustainable local community-school partnerships in Chicago. In collaboration with the municipal public school system, the initiative seeks to improve the quality of education and increase resources available to residents in underserved communities. Drawing on theories from the political economy of education, social movement theory, and asset-based community development, DePaul has employed asset mapping, a community engagement certification program, school-based community liaisons, and university service learning courses to develop long-term university-school partnerships based on skills training, knowledge sharing, and capacity building. Working within an expanding network of public schools in Chicago, our long- range objective is to produce a replicable model of community-school partnerships that can impact educational policy and practice locally, at the municipal level and beyond. Presenters: Howard Rosing, Executive Director, Steans Center, DePaul University; John Ziegler, Director, Egan Urban Center, DePaul University; Nadya Engler, Research Associate, Egan Urban Center, DePaul University; and Cynthia Smith, Community Liaison, Spencer Technology Academy Smith 333 Engaged Knowledge Citizens: Exploring the Aspirations and Decisions of Graduate Students, Early Career Scholars, and Practitioners The professoriate of American higher education is in the midst of a significant and multidimensional demographic shift. At the same time, we are witnessing the prevalence of important and sustained conversations about reconceptualizing knowledge creation and implications for faculty roles and rewards. In this context, understanding the needs of emerging scholars and practitioners committed to publicly engaged scholarship is an essential element of responding to transnational economic and social concerns. Situated at the intersection of academic missions and practices, these understandings are critically important to the academy’s commitment and intent to develop community partnerships with integrity. Presenter: Timothy K. Eatman, Assistant Professor of Higher Education, Director of Research, Syracuse University 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in *ASRC 001 USING POPULAR EDUCATIONAL PEDAGOGY TO REFLECT AND SYNTHESIZE THE INSTITUTE Noelle Wiggins, Manager, Community Capacitation Center, Multnomah County Health Department Noelle Wiggins will lead the participants through a highly interactive and personal reflection and synthesis of the Institute insights using a set of “popular education” approaches. Participants will be engaged in unique and diverse processes that have impact in both cognitive and affective forms of learning, thereby promoting long-term and applied outcomes of the Institute. *NOTE: This session is in the Academic and Student Recreation Center, not SMSU.
