Information about CACC can be found at www.sfsu.edu/-cacc. This resource book is intended as an informational reference point from which service administrators (service-learning or community service practitioners) should begin their analysis and preparation for implementing a service risk management program. This resource book does not claim to be the exclusive or complete source of information on service learning, community service, liability and risk management and should not be relied upon as such. This resource book was not intended to reflect nor does it purport to establish the past, present, or future standard of care or standard of operations by which all service-learning participants are governed. The decisions by each service-learning practitioner to implement or not implement any particular action are still dependent upon the particular facts and circumstances of each service-learning program.

The study consisted of interviews with 15 faculty and 72 students from three different higher education institutions; interviews were conducted between October 1998 and March 1999. Focus group interviews with faculty gathered information about course design, classroom practices, and faculty perceptions of student learning. Student interviews focused on how students interpreted the service experience in relation to the course, that is, the connections between academic course material and the community work/service experience; the role reflection played in the course and in their personal and academic development; and the things they did in and out of class to help connect the service experience and the formal course content. The study found that it is essential to provide structured, intentional reflection in service-learning courses, and that reflection enhances learning by connecting the service experience to the academic course.

The project addressed a potential pitfall of service learning: that students might see service and community participation as lternatives to involvement in the political process rather than as entry points. The CACC Carnegie Service Learning for Political Engagement Faculty Fellows Program brought together faculty members from diverse institutions and from a wide array of disciplines to increase college students’ political engagement and advance service learning by focusing on dilemmas inherent in teaching for political participation. This session will present the fellows project as a model of sustainable and effective faculty development for promoting higher education’s role in civic and political education. Participants in the session will discuss the implications for similar professional d...

In addition, these findings were consistent whether individual Asian American perceptions of campus climate were entered into the equation or whether institutional levels of campus per-ceptions (which included all racial and ethnic groups) were entered into the equation. Therefore, higher education institutions that are perceived by students to discriminate against individuals based on race or ethnicity, gender, sex-ual orientation, or disability may put their Asian American students at risk for severe psychological consequences. Implications for mental health services are discussed. While many higher education institutions across the country have made efforts at becoming “inclusive ” multicultural learning environ-ments, incidents of discrimination and prejudice cont...
