Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on PovertyOpenAccessPHL
The Shepherd Consortium focuses on providing a sustained education about U.S. poverty for undergraduate and professional students who will enter diverse professions: business, law, education, healthcare, and social services among them. SHECP believes that if more physicians, educators, businesspersons, non-profit and civic leaders, lawyers, social service and public policy professionals were better informed about poverty, that U.S. residents could unite in efforts to diminish it.
The SHECP program includes both classroom study and firsthand experience. The most prominent firsthand experience offers undergraduate and law students eight-weeks of fulltime work with an agency that addresses impoverished persons and communities through health and education, economic development, legal services, and social services. SHECP has supported interns from more than twenty schools to work in Camden and the Philadelphia area since 2009.
SHECP would like to expand its intern presence in Philadelphia and Camden and would like to speak to any institutions, foundations, corporations or other potential partners about support.
Please see the presentation here for additional information about the program’s role in Camden.

Hungry For Change: Addressing food insecurity on our campusesMSCSA
Did you know that 2 out of every 3 college students is food insecure? This means 2 of every 3 students experiences hunger, has no access to healthy food, or does not know where there next meal is coming from. We at LeadMN believe that no student should have to face these challenges. We're hungry for change and we're dedicating this year to address hunger on our campuses. This session will equip students with a basic understanding of food insecurity as well as strategies for effectively communicating the issue. We will also discuss action steps you can take to address hunger on your campus through food pantries, grants, needs surveys, and more.

A new Sillerman Center report, Engaging a New Generation of Philanthropists: Findings from the Pay it Forward Student Philanthropy Initiative, examines students enrolled in student philanthropy courses through Pay it Forward. Pay it Forward, an initiative of the Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio Campus Compacts, seeks to develop a new generation of philanthropists by infusing the practice of philanthropy as a core component of college coursework. In partnership with Campus Compact, the Sillerman Center analyzed 1,628 surveys from students who participated in these courses from January 2010-August 2011.
Whether institutions choose to formally apply for the 2015 Carnegie Community Engagement Classification or utilize the documentation framework as a campus-wide planning tool, Ohio Campus Compact is committed to providing tools and resources to our member colleges to support these important processes. A summary of offerings:
Campus Compact has conducted an annual membership survey since 1987 with the goal to help the organization and its member campuses track the extent of civic engagement activity in order to implement ongoing improvements. Campus Compact members should be proud of their role in educating students for responsible citizenship, strengthening communities, and fulfilling the public purpose of higher education. This year's results tell a story of continued growth in support structures for campus engagement, leading to notable levels of engagement with students, faculty, and community partners.
