Service Learning Development

SUNY Oswego is very unique in that you can incorporate Service Learning into you syllabus without much more work on your part. The Center for Service Learning and Community Service provides reflection activities and classes so your students can get the most out of their service to the community.

Interested in incorporating more hands-on learning outside the classroom? Check out the Service Learning Resources at Campus Compact. If you are interested in a workshop dealing with Service Learning Development please email service@oswego.edu for more information.

Dr. Zlotkowski's institute will give you what you need to effectively use service-learning pedagogy in your course.

INTEGRATING DESIGN AND SERVICE-LEARNING WITHIN THE CURRICULUM
Date:  June 12-14, 2013

Where:  Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana

EPICS is a curricular approach in which multi-disciplinary design teams address needs within local and global communities. EPICS was created at Purdue University and has been adopted at more than 20 universities and colleges, engaging students from their first-year through senior year and even capstone design.

The workshop will provide information, tools, and resources needed to create an EPICS course and will be facilitated by the directors of EPICS with experience from more than 50 faculty workshops on service-learning and design. Topics include course/curriculum, capstone courses, entrepreneurship, partnerships, institutional support, and assessment, evaluation. The workshop will actively engage participants to learn the principles and include presentations, discussions and individual reflections so that participants can develop a customized plan that can be applied to their own institution.

Who should attend?   Current and future faculty and instructors and partners interested in:

  *   Design Learning
  *   Human-Centered Design
  *   Multidisciplinary Teaming and Leadership
  *   Service-Learning and Community Engagement (local, national or global)
  *   Development of Professional Skills
  *   Student Engagement and Retention
  *   Diversity
  *   Sustaining Design Projects Across Multiple Semesters or Years
  *   Initiating and Sustaining Curricular Change
  *   Assessing Multidisciplinary Design Teams

So whether you are interested in becoming part of the EPICS university consortium, or want to learn how you can integrate design and community engagement in your curriculum, the EPICS Workshop will guide you in reflecting how EPICS principles apply to your institution and curriculum to improve student learning and engagement.

Cost:  The workshop registration is free but registration is REQUIRED.

Participants are expected to cover their travel and lodging costs.   Meals during the workshop are included with registration.  The workshop is supported by the endowment from the National Academy of Engineering's Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education.
