The researcher interviewed faculty development directors and administrators at 13 schools identified as high-performing based on student engagement outcomes. They found faculty development programs at these schools placed strong emphasis on assessment, collaboration between faculty across departments, and facilitating faculty learning communities. These practices aligned with models of effective faculty development while also assessing outcomes more frequently and extensively than other schools.
This document discusses best practices for establishing meaningful service partnerships between schools and community organizations. It recommends selecting partners that have pressing local issues and needs, as well as strong organizational structures. Students should be carefully matched to service positions through shadowing opportunities, presentations, and site visits. Ongoing management of student service includes writing clear position descriptions and community learning agreements, tracking hours and accomplishments, and providing reflection and advising. The goal is to create intensive, developmental partnerships that benefit both students and community partners.

Leveraging Data to Make the Case for Bonner Like Programs.pdfBonner Foundation
This document discusses leveraging data to expand community engagement programs like Bonner Scholars on college campuses. It summarizes a study conducted at Stetson University that analyzed retention data to understand factors influencing whether students return after one semester or year. The study found that costs, engagement, academic preparation, and background all impacted retention. It suggests using this data to enhance existing programs and create new "Bonner-like" programs, with the goal of having 20% of students participating by 2027. Participants are then asked to discuss how they could conduct a similar study and expand community engagement opportunities on their own campuses.
This session aims promote learning and exchange of ideas on
how we can help students all across campus pursue careers
with purpose and meaning, especially ones that make the world
a better place. The session will engage students in a dialogue
about career goals, academic study, service experience, career
support, and group discussions based on career interests.
This opening session sets the stage for a dynamic and informative
conference focused on driving positive social change. We'll be
inspired and rooted in a sense of place by President Floyd and our
student speakers then dive into two frameworks focused on
equipping individuals to be change agents in their communities.
Participants can expect to gain valuable insights, engage in
thought-provoking discussions and be inspired by the stories of
those who work towards moving the metaphorical mountains of
social inequality, injustice, and systemic challenges.
This is What Democracy Looks Like Powerbuilding -- Cali VanCleveBonner Foundation
Community organizing has always played a prominent role in the nonprofit world. But what about long-term, sustainable activism work? Power building is a newer sect of community organizing in which people can organize around a certain issue creating power within targeted communities. The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) and its 501(c)(4) TIRRC Votes has created a movement across the state, and they build power within our immigrant and refugee communities through voter engagement and services such as legal aid, educational resources, etc. It is vital to recognize the diverse forms in which we can organize around election cycles beyond simply registering people to vote. If you're interested in either immigrant and refugee rights, voter engagement, or unconventional means of organizing, this would be the place for you!
