UMM Service-Learning Advisory Board

The Service-learning Advisory Board was formed in the fall of 2003 to provide ongoing guidance and support to the program.  The Board consists of three working subcommittees:

  • Student Advisory Board (3-5 student representatives)
  • Faculty Advisory Board (4 faculty, from at least two divisions)
  • Community Partner Advisory Board (4-5 community partners)

The subcommittees meet as needed throughout the year to work on specific issues and projects pertaining to their community.  Twice a semester, the entire Board comes together to meet with service- learning staff and participants to discuss the status and direction of the entire program, including course development, outreach, training, assessment and sustainability.  An assessment committee for service learning, a subcommittee of the Assessment of Student Learning Committee, assists with assessment and evaluation efforts. 

During the 2008-2009 school year, the Service Learning Advisory Board members are:
