Bonner Student Development 2-15-11
The document discusses the Bonner Program's approach to student development. It focuses on providing students with experiential learning opportunities through service placements that allow them to develop skills across multiple domains. Students progress through these placements from exploration to experience to expertise. The program also emphasizes training, reflection, and skill-building through various group meetings. The goal is to help students become engaged citizens, nonprofit leaders, and produce other positive outcomes through an integrated curricular and co-curricular model.
