Mary
Beth McCubbin directs the a.LINE.ments Studio, winner of the 2010 South
Carolina Commission on Higher Education award for service learning. Housed in
the Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture, a.LINE.ments is a
multi-disciplinary program that offers students the opportunity to work on
design projects in cities and towns throughout the state of South Carolina.
Students have worked with communities to provide masterplans for parks,
concepts for downtown streetscapes, recommendations for neighborhood
revitalization, and a Safe Routes to School proposal. It has been a win,
win, win endeavor—real-world experiences for students, research opportunities
for faculty, and great ideas for communities.
During
our presentation we will share with you both the process and products of our
studio including many examples of our projects. Two graduate students will also be discussing the impact of
service-learning on their learning experience.
Videos, the powerpoint for the presentation, and further webcast
