Jones, Stein and Kiser have article accepted for publication

Professors Angela Lewellyn Jones, Jeff Stein and Pam Kiser had an article titled “Transitioning to Collaborative Service-Learning” accepted for publication in Planning for Higher Education (July – Sept. ’08).  The article examines how Elon University has transformed partnerships between faculty, student affairs and community partners and in doing so has shifted from a student-life centered cooperative model to a collaborative model.  Specifically, the authors argue that four key elements are required to make the successful transition: (1) institutional support, (2) visible faculty leadership, (3) inherent value added by student affairs, and (4) a focus on academic integrity.
