PACE Conference 2

Thank you for attending the 15th Pathways to Achieving Civic Engagement (PACE) Conference. In 1998 the Service-Learning Institute was organized by NC Campus Volunteers, a coalition of staff and students from campuses throughout the state seeking to increase civic engagement on campuses. In 2002 NC Campus Compact was formed, becoming the sponsor in 2003. It became the Service-Learning Conference in 2004. Recognizing the expanding body of research, theory and practice in community engagement the conference became PACE, Pathways to Achieving Civic Engagement, in 2009.

Elon University has served as conference sponsor for all 15 years, and are tremendous partners. We thank you for making this event possible every year. Special thanks go to the staff in the following Elon departments: Moseley Center, Moving & Set-Up, Teaching and Learning Technologies Event Support, Aramark’s Mill Point Catering, and Environmental Services.

As our Compact embarks on its second decade, this year’s workshop offerings reflect the growth in the knowledge-base around theory, research and practice. We appreciate the contributions of all the workshop presenters and thank Dr. Peter Levine and Dr. Judith Ramaley for sharing their thoughts on how to strengthen campus-community engagement.

Thank you to the Institute on Philanthropy and Voluntary Service and Stylus Publishing, LLC, for their sponsorships. Please visit their display tables to learn more about their important work.

North Carolina Campus Compact builds the capacity of colleges and universities to develop civically-engaged graduates and to strengthen communities. The Compact state office works to provide resources, training and opportunities to member campuses (listed on the previous page) to support their community engagement efforts. Elon University serves as host for the state office. NC Campus Compact is one of 34 state affiliates that comprise national Campus Compact, which has nearly 1,200 presidential members.

NC Campus Compact staff: Lisa Keyne, Ph.D., Executive Director; Leslie Garvin, MSW, Associate Director; Chad Fogleman, MPA, Program Coordinator; Rene Summers, Program Assistant; Rachel Rogers, MA, AmeriCorps*VISTA Leader; Emily Morazan, Guilford College student, Intern.

DR. HAROLD LEE MARTIN SR. is described as a visionary leader with a strong commitment to higher education and to collaborations with community, educational and business entities. Since 2009 he has served as chancellor of NC Agricultural and Technical State University, the first A&T graduate to serve in the role. Dr. Martin was instrumental in the opening of a STEM Early College on campus in collaboration with Guilford County Schools and the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at the Gateway University Research Park. He plays a significant role in Opportunity Greensboro, an alliance amongst the seven colleges and universities and the business community to make Greensboro a national model for collaboration in knowledge-based economic development. Chancellor Martin recently signed a memorandum of agreement to offer a bachelor’s in Electronics Technology through the University Center of Randolph County, addressing local industry need, and providing residents a relevant degree.

The Trustees Chair shared that the Chancellor’s vision and commitment to increasing A&T’s engagement with the community are exemplified in the six goals of A&T’s Preeminence 2020 strategic plan the Chancellor helped create. Examples include Goal 2, Commit to excellence in teaching research, public service and engagement; and Goal 4, Embrace an entrepreneurial spirit that intentionally engages university and community partners to expand economic development and civic engagement.

Dr. Martin served as the senior vice president for academic affairs for the UNC system leading the development and implementation of the system’s academic mission. Prior to that role, Dr. Martin was the chancellor of Winston-Salem State University, guiding it to become a Master’s II institution, creating a School of Graduate Studies and Research, establishing seven master’s degree programs, and enhancing

2013 LEO M. LAMBERT ENGAGED LEADER AWARD RECIPIENT

Chancellor Harold Lee Martin Sr., North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University

PACE Conference 10

LEO M. LAMBERT ENGAGED LEADER AWARD

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of North Carolina Campus Compact, the executive board created the Leo M. Lambert Engaged Leader Award, honoring President Lambert’s significant

contributions in educating civically-engaged graduates and strengthening communities. The award is presented annually to a North Carolina college president or chancellor committed to creating and

sustaining engagement that deeply impacts community and campus.

LEO M. LAMBERT has been widely recognized as a leader in facilitating deep, sustainable campus-community partnerships. Since becoming Elon’s eighth president in 1999, Lambert has advanced an ambitious agenda to establish Elon as a national leader in engaged teaching and learning, has contributed to the creation of a statewide Compact of engaged leaders and has received national recognition for innovative community-campus engagement. According to Campus Compact President Maureen Curley, Lambert’s leadership will “help us realize the full potential of campus-community engagement in the future.”

Lambert was instrumental in creating NC Campus Compact, serving as founding board chair, and hosts the Compact on Elon’s campus. He continues to serve as a board member and has served on the board of the national Campus Compact. Lambert is chair of the president’s council of Project Pericles, a national organization that encourages college students to be civically engaged, and served as a panelist at the White House launch of President Barack Obama’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge.

President Lambert has worked to ensure that underrepresented students have the opportunity to go to and succeed in college. His vision for the Elon Academy has provided a national model of a college access program for academically promising high school students with financial need and/or no family history of college. Under his leadership, Elon also created the nationally recognized Watson and Odyssey programs, providing crucial scholarships and academic support for students with high financial need,

including first-generation college students from North Carolina.

Lambert fosters an environment in which students become global citizens committed to lifelong service and strengthening their communities. Elon has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for six consecutive years, and was among the first institutions to earn the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s classification as a university committed to community

engagement. Elon received the 2007 Simon Award for campus internationalization and is recognized as the nation’s top master’s level university in study abroad by the Institute of International Education.

In 2009, he received the inaugural William M. Burke Presidential Award for Excellence in Experiential Education from the National Society for Experiential Education. In 2010, he received the Periclean Service Award from Project Pericles. As a prominent figure in North Carolina, Lambert has been named one of the “most influential leaders” for five consecutive years by the Triad Business Journal. He received the Thomas Z. Osborne Distinguished Citizen Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, and was named a “Father of the Year” by the American Diabetes Association Greater Greensboro Area Father’s Day Council.

For over 10 years, DR. REBECCA DUMLAO has assumed increasing leadership in service-learning and community engagement at East Carolina University. After receiving a competitive teaching grant, she developed Communication Modules for Service-Learning, a “one-stop” web-based site intended to help ECU faculty work collaboratively with engagement initiatives. Modules help faculty start community-focused class projects and include podcasts with community partners, communication strategies, assessment tools, and resources beyond campus.

Dr. Dumlao developed the School of Communication’s first service-learning course and, under her leadership, the School revised its curriculum to include a “Senior Communication Capstone” that includes a service-learning project. Since 2001, over 1600 students have completed the course contributing over 18,000 hours of service locally. After receiving grant funding, she team-taught Puppet Shows to Make a Difference in which Communication Honors students used puppets to present healthy eating and diabetes prevention information to over 200 children at local afterschool programs.

Dr. Dumlao has helped develop and sustain strong campus-community partnerships including one with the Girl Scouts. From 2010-2012 she chaired ECU’s Service-Learning Committee which plans a yearly service-learning conference, oversees service-learning course designation, and facilitates faculty development workshops.

Dr. Dumlao mentors faculty and students within her own academic unit and across campus. One colleague noted that Dr. Dumlao has guided his growth by offering suggestions for theoretical underpinnings for service-learning, class syllabi, class exercises, and strategies for working with community partners. Numerous students taking classes with Dr. Dumlao

have moved from doing service-learning projects to pursuing ongoing civic engagement and building careers focused on public service. One student stated Dr. Dumlao’s class was “definitely one of the most rewarding” as it built his team-working skills and showcased the importance of community engagement. She also introduced him to the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) which he joined, later becoming an officer. Today he is the deputy of community relations at the U.S. Air Force Academy and noted that “her professionalism and mentorship was instrumental in my career success.” Dr. Dumlao has supervised three student

scholars through the Student Engagement and Outreach Scholars Academy.

Dr. Dumlao contributes to the broader service-learning field by serving on the editorial review board for Partnerships: A Journal of Service-Learning and Civic Engagement, NC Campus Compact’s multi-disciplinary, open access peer reviewed journal. Recently, Dr. Dumlao participated on a national committee of scholars to identify core competencies in civic engagement. This committee wrote a policy paper published by the Center for Engaged Democracy at Merrimack College.

She has presented her service-learning scholarship and community-based research at regional, national and international scholarly conferences such as the National Outreach Scholarship Conference, the International Association for Research in Service-Learning and Civic Engagement Conference, and PACE. Dr. Dumlao is currently working to develop a global service-learning program in Trinidad, West Indies, in conjunction with Amizade, a non-profit organization that provides service-learning and volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups.

2013 ROBERT L. SIGMON SERVICE-LEARNING AWARD RECIPIENT

Dr. Rebecca Dumlao, East Carolina University

PACE Conference 12

ROBERT L. SIGMON SERVICE-LEARNING AWARD

This award was created in 2006 to recognize a faculty member who has made significant contributions toward furthering the practice of service-learning. NC Campus Compact

named the award in honor of Robert Sigmon, a native North Carolinian and a pioneer in service-learning.

ROBERT L. SIGMON was born in Lincoln County, North Carolina, grew up in Charlotte, graduated from Harding High School and received a B.A. degree from Duke University in 1957. Following college, he served in West Pakistan as a lay missionary with the Methodist Church where he managed a hostel for 130 Christian boys, ages 11-16. Mr. Sigmon oversaw all of the non-classroom life of these youngsters who came from the lowest caste families in the Punjab region of Pakistan. After three years in Pakistan, he studied at United Theological College in Bangalore, in southern India. He returned to the U.S. and completed a M. Div. degree in 1964 at Union Theological Seminary, holding a field assignment as a convener of a young adult ministry project at The Riverside Church in New York. During the Civil Rights era (1964-1966) Bob and his wife co-directed a Quaker Peace Corps type program in the southeastern region of the U.S. with the American Friends Service Committee.

Given his work in Pakistan, New York, and the southeast, with economically and racially oppressed communities, he became intrigued with the kinds of learning that occur when young people and adults engage in direct service activities with oppressed and marginalized people. As a result, for the next 40 years he worked in positions centered on promoting public service based experiential learning, primarily in the southeast. He helped create the North Carolina Internship Office which promoted service based experiential learning throughout the state. This effort was a joint project of the Governor’s Office and the Board of Higher Education which later became the consolidated UNC system.

Mr. Sigmon helped to form what is now the National Society for Experiential Education. He designed and managed a student initiated community based practicum for the new School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina between 1975 and 1978 and managed clinical training and continuing education programs for health care practitioners in Raleigh from 1978-1991.

Since 1991 he has consulted with national, state, and local programs supporting community-based public service based experiential learning. In the early 1990s he designed and presented workshops promoting servant-leadership through the Robert K. Greenleaf Center. For ten years he served as Senior Associate with the Engaged Community and Campus Initiative of the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) in Washington, DC.

His 1979, article published in Synergist, “Service-Learning: Three Principles,” has been widely quoted over the years. He edited and contributed to CIC’s Journey to Service Learning, highlighting campus service based learning programs at small, private, liberal arts colleges in the U.S. In 2010, Mr. Sigmon contributed his original research and papers to Elon University, creating the Robert L. Sigmon Service-Learning Collection. This contribution continues his lifelong commitment to facilitating reciprocal campus-community engagement and experiential learning.

2013 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR AWARD RECIPIENT

The Civic Engagement Professional of the Year Award recognizes a staff person at an NC Campus Compact member campus who has worked towards the institutionalization of service, created and

strived towards a vision of service on their campus, supported faculty and students, and formed innovative campus-community partnerships.

Elaine Madison, Duke University

ELAINE MADISON has served at Duke University for almost 30 years. Provost Peter Lange stated that “more than any other person at Duke, Elaine is responsible for the growth and institutionalization of civic engagement.” His comment was echoed by the Faculty Director of the Service-Learning Program: “For two decades, Elaine has been Duke’s strongest advocate for creating and sustaining a deeper relationship between Duke and the community.”

Elaine received her J.D. from UNC Chapel Hill, where she was a Chancellor’s Scholar. She earned her B.A. from Colorado Women’s College and completed graduate work at Brandeis University and the University of California, Santa Cruz. When she came to Duke in 1984 she started as the Associate Director for the Office of Continuing Education moving to Duke’s Community Service Center in 1993. She convened brown bag lunches to discuss the University’s moral responsibility to help students learn to be engaged citizens, and served on the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Service-Learning. From 1994 to 2009 she served as director of the Community Service Center where she created and sustained programs such as Break for Change, America Reads, Habitat for Humanity and the Partnership for Literacy.

When President Nan Koehane wanted to establish the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership (DDNP), it was Elaine who guided the way in identifying the partnerships. Since 1996 DDNP has improved the quality of life in 12 neighborhoods and supported 8 public schools near campus. Duke has worked with community members, advocated for housing, neighborhood and school initiatives, and helped raise more than $12 million to invest in community partners.

Elaine served on a task force to envision what would become DukeEngage and the Duke Center for Civic Engagement. She currently serves as Associate Director for Programs and Director, Durham Programs for DukeEngage. DukeEngage

provides full funding for students to pursue a summer of service in a U.S. or international community. As of 2012, more than 2,000 Duke students have volunteered in nearly 70 nations.

Elaine has guided a strategic planning process, written a comprehensive travel policy for students’ domestic and international service trips, developed an evaluation and assessment plan, and located gifts for community members who are part of Project Share, a joint philanthropic program with the Volunteer Center of Durham and the Durham Department of Social Services. Very recently she has helped

lead the creation of a new experiential learning certificate program providing a pathway for students to integrate service experiences with academic coursework.

Elaine coordinates Duke’s application for the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll to which they have been named each year. In 2008 Duke received the Presidential Award, the highest honor given. Elaine coordinated Duke’s 2008 Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching application through which they received the Community Engagement Classification.

A colleague shared that “while others will testify to Elaine’s diligence, intelligence, commitment to service and incredible ability to analyze every situation, I want to lift up her equally valuable role as a mentor – to countless students…and to her many colleagues who share her passion for civic engagement.”

PACE Conference 14

Workshops

Workshop Track: Research on Service-LearningNC Campus Compact is pleased to recognize and celebrate the contributions of 10 NC-based practitioner-scholars to the recently released edited volume Research on Service-Learning: Conceptual Frameworks and Assessment (Clayton, Bringle, & Hatcher, Eds., 2013, Stylus), which is the second in the IUPUI Series on Service-Learning Research. The authors critically review past research, describe assessment methods and instruments, develop future research agendas, and consider implications of theory-based research for enhanced practice.• Volume 2A begins with research related to students, comprising chapters that focus on cognitive processes, academic

learning, civic learning, personal development, and intercultural competence. The concluding section presents chapters on faculty development, motivation, and learning.

• Volume 2B addresses community outcomes and the capacities of nonprofit organizations in service-learning. It then examines the institutionalization of service-learning, engaged departments, and institutional leadership. The final section includes chapters on conceptualizing and measuring the quality of partnerships, organizational-level partnerships, and student partnerships.

Several of these topics will be addressed by the authors in workshops today. Copies of the books can be reviewed at a book signing during lunch.

Research on service-learning: Students’ academic learning and intercultural competence10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Location: Lakeside 214

Co-facilitated by: Jessica Katz Jameson, Kathleen E. Edwards, Darla K. Deardorff, Patti H. Clayton, and Robert G. Bringle

This session focuses on theory-grounded research related to student outcomes in the categories of academic learning and intercultural competence. Together we will critique research to date, examine relevant theoretical and conceptual frameworks, and discuss implications for practice and future research.

Research on service-learning: Partnerships11:40 p.m. – 12:40 p.m.Location: Lakeside 214

Co-facilitated by: Emily M. Janke, Robert G. Bringle, and Patti H. Clayton

Partnerships are central to community-campus engagement, so it is important that we understand the processes and outcomes associated with the full range of partnership dynamics. Presenters will share theory-grounded frameworks and research focused on interpersonal, inter-organizational, and intra-organizational partnerships.

Research on service-learning: Faculty learning2:10 p.m. – 3:10 p.m.Location: Lakeside 214

Co-facilitated by: George R. Hess, Jessica Katz Jameson, and Patti H. Clayton

Community-campus engagement positions all participants as co-learners, but with a culture that emphasizes faculty as teachers and experts instead, we know much more about student learning than about faculty learning. In this session we will explore the ways in which theory-grounded research can advance understanding of and ability to assess faculty learning and can support the growth of faculty as learners and co-learners.
