Service-Learning in Maryland's Community Colleges Statewide Training
June 11, 2008
Overview
Service-Learning in Maryland's Community Colleges Consortium will be hosting the 5th Annual Statewide Service-Learning Workshop for faculty and staff at Anne Arundel Community College, Arnold, MD on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 from 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Keynote Speaker
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Robert Franco. Dr. Robert Franco is Director of Planning and Grants at Kapi'olani Community College, University of Hawai'i. As a professor of anthropology, his scholarly research focuses on Samoan immigration and urban adaptation resulting in publications on educational, employment, health, and housing issues for Samoans in the United States. He also assisted in the development of two non-profit organizations that currently provide advocacy, research, and training opportunities for Samoans nationally and in Hawaii.
As a faculty member, faculty senate chair, department chair, assistant dean, community board member, campus planner, and grant writer he has worked to weave Service-Learning and Civic Engagement into the center of his institution's learning-centered mission and strategic planning. His training and technical assistance explicitly incorporates the perspectives of these multiple stakeholders.
The Kapi'olani Service-Learning program highlights and celebrates the many traditions of service that have shaped the American experience. The College has been recognized by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), and American Council on Education for its commitment to intercultural and international education and to social and civic responsibility locally, nationally and globally.
Franco is also the Senior Faculty Fellow for Community Colleges at Campus Compact (compact.org) having provided service-learning and civic engagement training in 35 states and three U.S. territories over the last 12 years. He was a lead researcher and author for the Campus Compact publication, The Community's College: Indicators of Engagement at Two-Year Institutions. He has other publications posted at the compact.org website. He also has published in five major works from the Community College National Center for Community Colleges, contributed to "Civic Engagement in a Diverse Democracy," from AAC&U, and to "Every Student a Citizen" from the Education Commission of the States. He is currently completing a Campus Compact publication on Service-Learning Course Design for Community Colleges.
In 1992, he received the Faculty Leadership Award from Community College in International Development. In 2004, he received the International Exemplary Leadership award from The Academy for Training and Leadership. This award recognizes Dr. Franco's role in advancing academic and administrative leadership on the Kapi'olani campus, and civic engagement undergraduate reform nationally. In September, 2005, he was invited to be one of five UH participants in an International Forum for Education 2020 at the East-West Center. For four weeks, five scholars from each of India, China, Thailand, the Philippines and Hawaii studied and shared perspectives on the impact of globalization on educational trends in this region. He shared the importance of educating for individual and institutional civic engagement as each country's citizens and policy makers must "sort out" the pluses and minuses of globalization at the national, regional, and local levels.
