  1. Community-University Exchange Academic-based program out of the Morgridge Center for Public Service

  2. Morgridge Center for Public Service programs Non-credit bearing programs • Badger Volunteer Program • Wisconsin Idea Fellowship • Peer advising on volunteering

  3. Morgridge Center for Public Service Academic-based programs • Standards for service-learning • Service-learning designation in timetable • Community-based Learning Fellows • Community-University Exchange

  4. Definitions

  5. Community University Exchange

  6. Based off European Science Shop Model • Issues arise from the community • Service/research is interdisciplinary • Results are intended for community social action

  7. CUE- the “revolving door” to the UW • Builds off research done by Beth Tryon, Randy Stoecker and others • Research was based on focus groups with 67 community organizations • Found that community partners wanted a way to access the entire UW through one program/office

  8. CUE Roles • Project Manager • Consultant • Instigator • Database • Educator • Outreacher

  9. CUE Facilitate a community group to connect with university resources.  Community issues can fall into a number of different ‘buckets.’ After considering the scope of the issue, CUE will connect a community partner to faculty members or a graduate student who might have interest and appropriate expertise. CUE will then facilitate the early partnership building and then will leave the decision to the partners whether CUE’s assistance is still needed.

  10. CUE Collaborate on a community project.  When a community group approaches CUE, they may have a few different questions in hand. Among the potential follow ups are: • to put together a grant proposal for conducting a collaborative research project. • to offer a community-based learning course. The process would be similar to the facilitation of partnership building earlier. The difference is that CUE will actively engage in the efforts of both securing a research grant to support the project and coordinating activities of the project. • to help with organizing the issues as research questions or project ideas. Many times community priorities transcend disciplines and methodologies. Community-based research might be appropriate for some elements of service learning for others.

  11. CUE Facilitate community connections for faculty course.  For example, CUE can make a match between faculty learning objectives for their students and existing CUE projects that have capacity to utilize additional student time and energy. Please  contact CUE to discuss tentative learning goals for the course and what skills the students have or hope to develop.

  12. CUE Developing curriculum for a community-based learning (CBL) course. CBL pedagogy differs from a traditional course, and CBL course preparation, syllabus, and execution can require additional processes that cannot be found in a traditional course. For faculty members or teaching assistants who would like to set up a CBL course, CUE provides assistance through the stages of preparation until execution.

  13. CUE Match community concerns with academic resources • Act as a clearing house for projects • Living database • CUE Fellows in various departments • Consult with community members and faculty/staff/students • Network with community and UW

  14. Projects

  15. Encourage CBL on campus • Provide individual consultation with UW staff, faculty and students interested in creating a new CBL course • Co-found Midwest Knowledge Mobilization Network

  16. Students in CUE • Undergraduates in community-based learning courses • CUE interns and independent study students • CUE Graduate Fellows

  17. CUE Plans • Continue to promote CBL on campus by offering CBL course in fall • Work with other Morgridge Center staff to offer Engaged Scholarship Round Tables • Continue to provide consultation

  18. CUE Plans • Begin new tutoring program based off Family Voices funded by Baldwin Grant • Continue to support current programs

  19. CUE Plans Midwest Knowledge Mobilization Network meeting Oct. 18th, 2013 hosted by CUE
