19. Why are meetings important?
Student Impact and Alumni Surveys
demonstrate that strongest contributors for
program effectiveness in terms of retention and
student growth are:
• dialogue across difference
• mentors (staff, peers, site supervisors, &
faculty)
• structured reflection and education
20. Case Study Analysis
• Case Study
• Discussion Questions
• What observations or reactions do you have to the case study and
to what occurred in Professor Daniels’ course?
• What larger themes does the case study suggest are at work,
especially for students in the course and for community residents
served by the course?
• What might have the professor done differently to more effectively
prepare the students for the service-learning experiences or to help
them reflect on and process their experiences during the course?
• What thoughts or take aways do you have as an educator from this
case study?
21. Meetings help…
• Cultivate an asset-based approach
• Build skills (i.e., project management)
• Develop knowledge (i.e., public policy analysis)
• Support outcomes (i.e., intercultural competence)

connections

Cross-Campus Finding a Summer Internship Cultivating Collaborations
35. 1. Determine the schedule for your meetings for each class year (f2f / Online)
2. Discuss whether you will have any courses involved (and at what stages)
3. Identify who can assist with planning and leading meetings
4. Start with recommended themes and workshops (4 per term & led by staff)
5. Plug in the capstone workshops (1 per term) so that they will work according
to your project timelines (i.e., junior and/or senior year)
6. Fill in with other Bonner Curriculum workshops, especially those focusing on
the Common Commitments. All Bonner Meetings are a good place for these.
7. Fill in with other campus-based sessions (speakers, partners, other offices, etc.)
8. Delegate who will lead based on the topics and level of facilitation needed
(staff, Senior Interns, BLT, faculty, etc.)
