The Office of Community Service Learning is pleased to announce that on November 18, 2010 the University of Southern Maine will host Civic Matters, a symposium of USM community-based projects and research.
The highlight is a community conversation focusing on how service learning and civic engagement is a promising practice in supporting student persistence and graduation. Maine Campus Compact Faculty Consultant, Maryli Tiemann will facilitate the conversation.
Ben Towne, faculty member in Athletic Training will offer remarks his international service learning work in the Dominican Republic.
This fall, nearly 60 students, faculty and community partners will present during the oral and poster sessions about their work in the community.
This event provides opportunities to all participants to grow as practitioners, network and showcase engagement with the community. Please join us from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for the poster session, oral session and the community conversation over free lunch.
