Service-Learning @ Fort Hays State University

 

“I’m here to stay alive as a teacher.”
--Alice Reich, Regis University (“Call and Response: Service-Learning in a Liberal Arts Curriculum.” Building Community: Service-Learning in the Academic Disciplines)

“The [social] crises are real, and as educators perhaps we must be prepared to cross some borders if we are to make a difference, stepping from behind our lecterns, across the thresholds of our offices, past the imaginary lines of our disciplines.”
--Eleanor Swanson, Regis University (“Incorporating Service-Learning into Writing and Literature Classes.” Building Community: Service-Learning in the Academic Disciplines)

Recent News
FHSU alumnus Larry Dreiling recently wrote a story in the widely circulated farm newspaper, The High Plains Journal, about an award-winning class designed Dr. Jean Gleichsner. In the class, students teach area schoolchildren about farm grains. The university's Service-Learning Committee thought that others on campus might enjoy seeing this positive news story. I'm attaching it as an Adobe Acrobat file. If you cannot access the attachment but would like to read the story, just respond to this note and I'll send you a hard copy of the story.
