COME FOR THE INSTITUTE, STAY FOR THE ITHACA FESTIVAL!

The Fifth Annual Institute on Global Service-Learning, co-sponsored by Cornell University (Center for Community Engaged Learning and Research & The Public Service Center) and New York Campus Compact, will be held on Cornell’s campus in Ithaca, New York, May 31 – June 1, 2012. This year, we hope you will consider attending the Institute and stay for the Ithaca Festival (http://www.ithacafestival.org/).

Do you currently teach a global/international service-learning course? Are you considering developing a global service-learning course and/or program? Do you want to transform an international course into one that is community-connected? Then this is the institute for you.

This intensive institute will provide faculty, adminstrators and professional teaching staff with the reflective space and time to discuss and develop an action plan in the following areas: course and program design, on-site review, risk management, financial planning and management, learning outcomes, assessment strategies, tools for reflection, articulation agreements, reciprocal community partnerships, and strategies for creating institutional buy-in.  A global service-learning handbook will be provided.

The 2012 GSLI will be co-facilitated by Dr. Richard Kiely, Director, Center for Community Engaged Learning and Research, Cornell University, and Dr. Eric Hartman, former Executive Director, Amizade Global Service-Learning.
