9:20 a.m.Panel discussion on service-learning and workforce
  1. Is there evidence that service-learning helps students get jobs?
  2. Does service-learning help create a sense of professionalism among students (such as in the way they write, speak, and/or present themselves)?
  3. Is there any evidence that service-learning helps create a more positive impression of a college or university among townspeople?
  4. What can be done to create more service-learning opportunities?
    • John Gierke, Michigan Technological University and Peace Corps Master’s International Program
    • Amy Cohen, George Washington University
