Foothill College, California
Project Deliverables:
- Create and implement a college wide inventory tool to collect data on service learning activities
- Analyze data and record findings in institutional report
- Present the report to various campus constituencies, providing next steps and recommendations
The constantly changing landscape of higher education has led institutions to think deeply about who they are and what makes them unique. Foothill College in Northern California has a history of connecting is students to the community through service, and its aim has been to operationalize this culture of service and leadership throughout campus procedures, policies, and curriculum. Such a vision required bold new strategies for all departments. P&P assisted by developing an assessment tool to collect baseline data from campus constituents as to their knowledge and understanding of Service Leadership as an academic model. Using that data we operated as a thought partner to the President and her Cabinet as they led the institution through the planning phase and initial implementation of their shared vision.
