5 Year Look at Service Hours by Category
2012-2013 by the Numbers
During the past 5 years, the Service Program has changed focus on types of programming offered in order to better support student learning and respond more appropriately to community needs. Some particular points of consideration: •
The organization of the Bonner Leaders Service Crew has changed considerably since 2008 -2009. During the 2010-2011 academic year, the Service Program made a conscious choice to significantly decrease one-time trip offerings facilitated by the Bonner Leaders Service Crew and focus on more in-depth opportunities. As a result, the Bonner Leaders Service crew has been able to focus on strengthening the quality of community engagement and not just the quantity of opportunities. Additionally, crew members have increased the time in which they serve as resources for students interested in finding meaningful ways to engage in the community.
•
The Director of Service-Learning and Faculty Liaison for Service-Learning positions started during the 2009-2010 year. These positions focus primarily on academic initiatives and strengthening the quality and quantity of service-learning course offerings.
