(on every top ten list of private employers for 20 largest cities) - Major economic engine o Purchasing o Employment o Real estate - Case in point, no chocolate made in Hershey, PA! no jobs - "City on the hill" – large, visible - Greensboro top five: o Moses cone health system o USPS o High point regional health system o Bank of America o American express - If you have to chase your job around, that's not community Why engage? - Good business - Socio-economic health of surrounding community o From "bad part of town" to "this is a nice/unique place to be" - Attracts/retains employees, students - Neighborhood effects the campus 1|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] - Academic opportunities for faculty and students - Recognition - "Enlightened self-interest" – good for both institution and community Ways to engage - Academic o Community service Student volunteer program typically organized by student life Key is to intentionally focus efforts on local community (PARTNERSHIPS) Anchor Inst. Lens: Think more about "what is going on in GSO? What agencies need our support? How can we subtly direct student energies to these communities and this issue?" Town gown issues (Glenwood?) o Service-learning Community engagement through courses Key is to intentionally focus efforts on local community o Community-based research Community needs drive research agenda Data is co-owned with community Community involved in data collection and analysis University assisted community schools School is the center of the community ("mini anchor") University provides multiple layers of support o Faculty expertise and technology transfer Faculty making themselves available to community groups and organizations Traditional research driven by local concerns and problems - Non-Academic o Human resources Hire locally Facilitate workforce development Penn Case study – Lucien E. Blackwell Apprenticeship Program 2007-2009, 40 individuals, W/SW Philly Participants assigned to unions working on construction projects – some at Penn ("get Philadelphians working") Penn Case study – Skills Development Center (SDC) Focus on incumbent workers in health system Begins in 2006-2007 with 211 enrolled workers As incumbent workers move up, vacancies allow for local hiring into entry-level positions HS "summer health academy" also a component Now housed at University City District as "West Philadelphia Skills Initiative" 2|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] o Economic development Special services district (aka "business improvement district") NPO that does improvements that city should be doing (augment) Clean, Safe, "Hip" initiatives Interesting issue – huge parts of real estate tax exempt b/c of NPO's Neighborhood lighting and greening Attracting and retaining students to the region o Real estate o Investments o Purchasing o Business incubation o Facilitator/convener - Campus Integration o Orientation of buildings outward versus inward o Appropriation of existing facilities for new purposes rather than new construction - Campus expansion o Dialogue with community residents about expansion projects o Penn's new commitment to eastward expansion o Gentrification o This is not democratic – can't vote the president out Q&A Question: Anchor institutions at the state level? Answer: - "stewards of place" – hard to do at the state level - May not be as locally based, but how do we engage other state institutions to make that impact? - What happens if a community has no universities? (i.e., South Philly) Question: Community College involvement in this? Question: the budget is $10m, how is PHENND sustaining this? (ED – SSD) Answer: - Originally out of Penn's budget/large donors - After 10 years, they can get donations from other small businesses/institutions Question: is there a value added to a level of coordination/centralization? What does Penn bring to the scene? Answer: 3|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] - Efficiency - Coordination is not necessarily centralization - Can appropriately direct resources/partners to their best uses - Synergies that are missed if we're not talking together (ORED!!!) Question: what if people don't know what they're doing is ED? Has been reframed by the university? We haven't put any 'value' on the unknown aid by faculty to ED (study of faculty across 17 CE indicators) Answer: - Reframe, have the conversation - Reframe and then ARTICULATE it as such Question: any incubators? ED multipliers? Answer: - Science Center: Businesses co-located, learning from one another, technology hub, conglomeration like wall street - "Graduated" 360 businesses since 1943? Remember slum clearances of the 60's - Still a sense of anger/frustration TODAY from community that was kicked out Comment: need to hold on to the "telling the story;" this is often the first thing to go. Perception of what tells a good story; we need to reframe the way we think about telling our story (not necessarily taxes, facts and figures) 4|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Economic Development Breakout Session 10:30am-12:00pm Hillary's opening comments: Small businesses and small non-profits have many of the same needs (websites, logos, marketing plans, etc.) What can students do to support small businesses? Temple's Certificate Program for NP Management 3 part series on leadership Organizational self-assessment Social media Fundraising and grant-writing Temple also has a center for social policy and community development, and a small business development center, focusing on many of the same issues. Adding on a component of student internship – workshop series participants can apply to have an intern to take on a project (participating in the workshops does not mean that can or have the time to do the projects) … approx 10 hours / week, can be course-based or volunteer etc. Workshops facilitated by faculty, staff across Temple … how can students assist with the facilitation of the workshops? Comment: UNCG has a NP certificate program and there is a Guilford Nonprofit Consortium … students in this program are learning content that would enable them to facilitate such workshops … what is the next step in making these connections? Where are the gaps? Students are learning skills that can help community organizations, but they aren't aware of their existence. Comment: Can't step on toes, there are existing organizations that are doing a good job in these areas … try to work with existing community agencies, advertising availability of students to do projects for the NP agencies … don't have grant to fund bringing community members into training opportunities Comment: We in the university think we have a lot to offer to the community and less frequently think about what they have to offer us so that everyone gets better … need to change our mindset We don't have a system inside the university to really honor community engagement (did just re-work P&T guidelines to promote CE but when it really comes down to it we value pubs, etc) – we need paradigm shift … we are just one institution in the community with a set of skills Example of his work with Habitat, using their expertise in fund-raising (co-roles) 5|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Comment: Sometimes the language we use is very off-putting … we need examples of how to engage with the community, not just offer what we have to offer … we need examples of institutions that have been transformed by these relationships … it is about cultivating a community of learners that will have an impact on policy Hillary: Not all the expertise is on the campus – university might facilitate the opportunity for the community members to share their expertise … pay them, to indicate the value of their expertise (this is a shift for the university – we do not build this into our budgets – need to treat people professionally) Difference between formalized structures (e.g., Certificate Program) and informal (in her case, it is very informal, not in the context of a degree program) Are their community organizations that can serve as intermediaries, host workshops What is it you need vs. what we assume you need? Comment: Hearing themes re: mutual respect, relevance of what we do … we need a framework to help compartmentalize some of these pieces Hillary: Temple and Netter Center at Penn have developed similar programs with different foci – Penn is about starting up a non-profit/basic questions about NPs while Temple is more for staff at NPs … As another example, NP Exec Lead Inst (BrynMaer) is executive level, very formal … United Way has emerging leaders program for younger leaders …. SO maybe we need a framework to help sort through various niches, who is targeting which audiences and purposes – there is such variety in the NP / small business / agency sector Comment: Conversation is still about what we have to offer them … struggle to find examples of institutions having been transformed to be more a part of the community … 'We're always going to be this thing if we don't become something different" Comment: Tulane in response to Katrina is an example of completely re-tooling around public purposes … short of having a natural disaster what can help encourage such transformation? Comment: Often grassroots community people see us as more the problem than the solution – institution of experts hasn't done much for us lately – attitude that needs to be changed (humility) Comment: It is also structural – reference recent article on how community based researchers do not put their research into the community and part of the reason being the 6-year timeline for tenure compared to the longer time frames for community engagement, for venture capital projects … we have to develop relationships with the community which may mean it takes several years to get articles out … norm is for new faculty to come to campus and in 6 months to have a very productive lab output because they came into set-up to enable quick start (including graduate 6|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] students) – we are judged with regard to progress within 6 years, and great minds were lost because their scholarship did not fit within the P&T traditional structure. Hillary: Sometimes just need to be present and not focused on what we can do in communities … be there authentically, offering support as needed, vs going out with "here are the 20 things we can do for you" … story of Drexel University understanding and wanting to focus on the 3 leading community health issues (e.g., cancer, etc) but the community identifying their main concern as dog-bites Comment: But you don't get tenure doing work on dog-bites Hillary: Revised guidelines have to be translated into practice and culture … culture can change but it changes very slowly Comment: We have to teach our students what the university is about, what community issues are, how to access the community (including by bringing community members into our classes) … if we can continue relationships over time with alumni they can help with some of this translation, they know what the university can offer, they can help connect community with university … issue of how to keep young professionals in Greensboro community, getting them embedded into the Triad community, and then they will call upon us for our contacts and expertise … alumni often feel more comfortable accessing our resources and are good to have on Boards, etc. Comment: Entrepreneurship initiative is one of UNCGs key responses to economic development in Greensboro – we are going to be creating majors/minors etc. in addition to providing service Comment: Students in degree programs work with NPs and NPs also come to the Center directly Comment: Business students want to be entrepreneurs …. We need to work with Bryan School Comment: There are good anchors and bad anchors … anchors can fail … if we don't change we will fail … the customers are the students and the community – if we lose focus on the customer we don't stay in business – focus on the customer includes focus on what they need and meeting these needs being the metric … if you don't get a job when you graduate then why go into debt getting an education? … Students' objective for college education is to get a job and we have to get them into the community to help this happen Hillary: More and more new faculty are being hired into positions that include emphasis on CE … more and more young faculty had CE experience and they will be the future tenure committees – the change will come but it comes slowly within the academy 7|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Hillary: Don't like the language of customers and clients but the underlying point is are we relevant … the way to understand the world is to try to change it … what we are teaching needs to be directly relevant and coming from the needs of the community Comment: It might be more than walking humbly in the community and changing RPT structures – concerned with the idea that we can work as individuals and solve all problems – these are the community needs and we can each work on part of them --- so what are changes in RPT that can allow reward faculty for working together rather than as individuals Hillary: To a large extent the problems of Greensboro are not in Greensboro – West Philly's problems are not because Penn wasn't doing whatever but because of much larger public policy contexts Comment: But we do change public policy through educating future voters Hillary: Or through community organizing … different approaches … focus on neighborhoods is often better and fancier Band-Aids Comment: We (particularly social sciences) strip-mine, we go out and take and come back in and publish … but there is a whole part of the university that the business world really likes: engineering, agriculture, biochemical sciences, etc where the community can see products – the largest centers on campuses are engineering centers, people line up waiting for the work of engineers, etc … we need to show the economic value of the social good … we have to change a little bit of this in terms of how we count it and how we sell ourselves Hillary: But be careful because if we increase efforts to start counting this work then it looks like we are trying to take credit Comment: We have to sell ourselves … the community has to buy it and sell us as well … its not rocket science we just need to do it Comment: Another problem is that if you present yourself as doing this work you get all kinds of requests, all of which cannot be served … complaints re: they didn't give me their expertise when I called … there are unrealistic expectations that can be associated with marketing Hillary: Also need to be clear re: what we cannot do and to know who can do it and help make connections Comment: There is strong work around biotech, engineering, etc. because the connections are very clear and concrete … there are lots of additional needs out there but neither the community nor the university knows what the university doesn't know … the workforce is going to change demographically in very significant ways (trough behind the baby boomers) and a smaller workforce is going to have to support a larger pool …. Efficiency and effectiveness of each individual worker in our country is going to be of paramount importance, so it isn't about productivity of 8|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] making widgets but about productivity of making knowledge – we have to know how to learn not how to make stuff in order to be efficient and effective and if that doesn't happen in the university then where does it happen … reading from online source (The Ill-Prepared Workforce) re: difficulties with developing critical thinking once you get into the job … upshot: universities need to focus on the "soft" stuff now and forward (given post-industrial age) – not ill-prepared because they don't know technical content but because don't have "softer" abilities that are increasingly important for them to have ---- so what do we need to shift in terms of our processes Comment: How do we make them efficient and effective workers AND efficient and effective citizens who can have a real impact on their immediate communities while touching broader economic issues … we need to model this better as a university … we keep running after something but do we know what that something is, we respond to stimuli and may not always connect our reactivity to the real issues of communities … story of her students not wanting to engage with the questions Comment: language of "needs" ( and "problems") in a context trying to be asset-based … how do we start from the assets without ignoring or denying the reality of needs? Hillary: It is a rhetorical dance … the important language shift is less away from "needs" and more from "they" to "we" / our community with our collective needs and assets / problems are Comment: UNCG has the largest endowment in the community but invests none of it in Greensboro .Hillary: Harvard as an example of doing this (small % of assets directed toward local re- investment) Comment: Wanting univ. to become more responsible in its investing choices and directing some % of our financial assets to the community Comment: Connecting this conversation to other conversation about change through the next generation … work here to get graduate students more involved … Bob: Volunteered to work on this with the graduate students Comment: There are many folks (within and beyond campus) who would love to work with students to help them develop the skills etc. they need … volunteer mentors to work with students as they work on community problems … "you've got an army, use it – people on the outside will come in and help, often for free" 9|Page [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] K-12 Education Breakout Session 12:15pm-1:45pm Hillary's opening comments: Discussion of CNCS (3 branches: Americorps, SeniorCorps, Learn & Serve – focused on SL: K-12 $ is parceled out by state) PA has senior project requirement, unfunded, no guidance … some districts have done more with it than others …. It is met/un-met requirement, not graded … too many were very weak SL projects … Philly's district got character ed grant $ to focus on SL in senior projects piloted with 10 high schools, including faculty development, guidelines for projects (PHENND was brought in to help high schools identify community partners and gave mini-grants to HE for SL students to work with high school students on their projects) – was a big culture shift for many of these schools – RMC did the project evaluation (results: increased critical thinking skills, even moreso for the high school students who work with college students) – funding ended and the program is no longer running Comment: UNCG part of a character education initiative with Guilford County Schools – they want teachers to learn how to improve SL pedagogy … Rick Bunch has done some work re: mapping Greensboro in terms of who is doing youth development, info that teachers can use as a resource Hillary: Other big issue in Philly re: K-12 is college access … students are not by and large prepared to go to college … HE both produces K-12 teachers and receives students from high schools, so we are key in dealing with this issue from both sides …. discussion re: integrating SL into teacher education programs (as a pedagogical strategy they need to learn) rather than doing SL-related in- service training Hillary: SL at K-12 level in Philly is very weak now … it was originally conceived as a workforce development initiative, framed as student-driven approach (like Science Fair – their responsibility to do a project at some point in high school) rather than as pedagogy (used to teach content area) – Hillary (leading consortium of PHENND and local NPs – but very little teacher involvement) is now helping to re-frame and develop materials and sample projects in support of this (no faculty training yet) Hillary: In many ways K-12 SL and HE SL are the same thing but the institutional settings are very different, with much less support (e.g., in establishing partnerships) and a different set of roles/behaviors for teachers (who also have little time to prep courses and no time during the day to interact with community partners) … key role for HE students to support K-12 teachers with the logistical pieces Comment: Project in Guilford County has included some professional development for K-12 principals 10 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Comment: Working with a school system with significant change in student demographics … pre- service teachers now required to do 1000 hours in classrooms before becoming teachers … several examples of projects that involve pre-service teachers in communities … Guilford County has adopted a "value added" system in which pre-service teachers cannot be in classrooms unless tenured teachers are there – but some of their partner schools do not have licensed teachers so they have had to pull out of some of their partnerships even though the need there is high Hillary: She has new funds to convene HE people into common conversation re: K-12 and HE and hopes to form a community that will be closely linked to the districts and be involved in policy conversations … and hoping that this will support better collaboration in determining what the relationship between K-12 and HE should be Comment: on role of policy makers in ELC's national associations (NCPA, NCEA) … our greatest resources are not those for which we receive funding but are people who step up and do something … in ELC there is state-mandated internship requirement (example project: student started a refugee high school ???) … what are the boundaries between internships and CE / what is not CE? Hillary: Tend not to get hung up on the language – there are differences but for the most part it is a way of thinking and how you approach partnership and reflection and social justice – it is more a philosophical approach than a set of requirements … what matters is the bigger picture / the broader public / whether public dimension is front and center Comment: What SL/CE brings to these relationships is the emphasis on doing "with" not "for" … pre-service teacher training has often been focused on the development of the students and on doing for schools … like about ELC that it isn't just "for" but exploring the interests of the schools and parents … relationship development piece and difference between pre-service teacher "helping out" and learning about … not enough to be in communities and/or working for communities but need to work with communities Comment: Challenge to the presumed impermeable boundaries between university and communities … take aways from this morning: there are so many ways in which we are already doing it and so many opportunities but what we need is intentionality and integration (e.g., why is Guilford County school system undertaking massive CE initiative without collaborating with UNCG's School of Education and other parts of campus that send students into schools) Hillary: Right hand not knowing what left hand is doing … Comment: There are disconnects but also many examples of the partnerships working well … much integration in principal preparation (reference Piedmont Leadership Academcy, EDS statewide cohort – in which the community sought out the university – PTEC ?) … community needs to think in terms of "with" as well … perhaps the disconnect is more at the level of the individual classrooms 11 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Hillary: Leadership in K-12 schools changes so frequently, the schools feel brand new every fall … new effort after the character education in senior projects program ended involves GearUp, which starts with 7th grade students on college readiness and includes college student tutors (so PHENND is trying to set up partnerships, e.g., course at Temple that will include this as SL project) runs into problems when the matching with colleges falls through as the schools period schedules change … lots of issues around different academic calendars, including the constant change Comment: Interested in university-assisted schools (Netter Center's work/model) and the role of HE students with K-12 schools … Comment: We need to focus on the positive – there are extraordinary examples – reference 12 year partnership with a school and being asked "have you fixed it yet"? – it is about relationships, which takes a long time Comment: The work has to be mutually-beneficial and these are 2 systems that are very different, including in terms of how we are held accountable … most successful projects are when everyone is satisfied … Comment: on reciprocity as co-construction as well as mutual benefit, with co-construction helping to ensure mutual benefit but being even more counter-normative Comment: Integrating SL into pre-service teacher education (as one of the strategies they need to learn) Comment: Where is the School of Education on RPT re: CE? Recall Bob W this morning on the mis- match between tenure timeline and relationship-building timeline Comment: School of Education has been more tolerant of time in community than other departments but you still have to publish / do research Comment: UNCG wants to ramp up its research activity … have to find ways to integrate R, T, S and shouldn't enter into projects that tip you too far into any one of these directions … need supports for keeping a foot in each campus (e.g., graduate students) … need to identity projects that involve you in doing good work in the schools and function as research Comment: Broader context of all of these efforts is that Greensboro and NC are getting poor-er … there are huge societal ills and we as an institution need to get our economic development efforts and our K-12 efforts and etc etc in order Comment: Clinical faculty don't earn tenure and do a lot of the integrating of service … when we talk about P&T who are we focused on? 12 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Hillary: What is really exciting about K-12 SL in particular is that it isn't teaching kids to do service to others but teaching them about community development / empowering them while at the same time teaching in content areas … the idea of students solving community problems with parents and neighbors etc as part of their learning … tacking economic development problems through education and producing a citizenry that can address these issues Comment: 4 year civic literacy project with a high school, involving relationships on many levels Comment: Also cannot ignore what SL does for our students – they are getting more aware – we are getting more than community is – kids see things they never anticipated and they are better as a result … we may not be doing anything about community problems but these activities are doing great things for us in HE Hillary: This is a good question Comment: Breaking down students' tendency to not see commonalities between themselves and "others" 13 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Intercultural Dialogue Breakout Session 2:00pm-3:30pm Hillary's opening comments: If you are doing CE work you are doing intercultural work …. Professional development for faculty wanting to work abroad or to work down the street Comment: Wouldn't go to an office on campus to prepare to work locally, would go to offices in the community. The CNNC does well in the community, but not in the university. Hillary: Widen approaches SL through a faculty cohort each year who take a seminar with their CE director about SL – the first thing they do is a community tour led by a community member (getting to know the place, listening to community members, learning about historical relationships) … often an assumption that when people who are different from each other work together they can magically make things work without preparation Comment: Unlike Dan, most faculty / depts are not in and of the community and do not understand the range of community organizations (e.g., Community Foundation of Greensboro) … we are in the south and so the legacy of racism is an unspoken issue, NC A&T "might as well be on Mars" as far as UNCG is concerned – many in Greensboro and UNCG would be afraid to go to A&T Hillary: Certain disciplines lend themselves to think about this work in different ways … for many disciplines their interest in SL is not related to IC, so the idea that we need to deal with IC capacity building is not front and center … doing so takes a lot of time (e.g., first step as providing a thorough introduction to the community) … importance of sense of long-term commitment … OMA at UNCG probably could offer much in the way of professional development but there aren't often good linkages between such offices and SL programs … SL people too inclined to reinvent rather than to tap campus resources (e.g., using SL for career prep without working with Career Services, ditto for ICC and OMA) Comment: How do we prepare faculty to introduce students into the community given differences in age and community culture (e.g., size of the city) and etc. etc. etc. and the associated steep learning curve … to have successful SL experiences we need to help students become uncomfortable (they often translate their discomfort with unfamiliar people and places into feeling unsafe) Hillary: Semester structure is not a lot of time to do relationship building, transformation, etc that are part of ICC … need to look at the long term, adopt institutional perspective not just individual courses – what do we expect students to know and do and how will they evolve over time … Cabrini College as an example of a campus that has completely reworked their curriculum around developmental approach to CE/SL http://www.cabrini.edu/Academics/Core-Curriculum-Justice-Matters.aspx 14 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Comment: Developmental approach to ICC – how can we do this as an institution – push back from some faculty re: is it our job to push students beyond where they are Hillary: It isn't just a question of whether I want to do engage with the other but how do I do that well … road to hell paved with good intentions – good intentions are not enough Mark: OMA has tried to partner with OLSO and IPC (?) but seem to be lacking organizational structure to facilitate those partnerships in an in-depth way … what can be done structurally to institutionalize such partnerships? Hillary: Short of hiring someone to do it! Comment: Students have different levels of readiness Hillary: A good thing about local engagement is that they are here with you all the time (vs, having to prep them before they go abroad) and you can continue to work on these issues throughout the experience … Miles Horton at Highlander: "You only learn from the experiences you learn from" (we often keep making the same mistakes over and over again) Comment re: structures to support integration across units Hillary: Everyone knowing what the others are doing (e.g., database) … what training is each doing already and can this training be integrated into what is already happening … rhetoric far outstrips the reality – its not going to happen just because we all will it Comment: One approach is through faculty development that integrates the topic and points faculty to resources but then faculty feel that this is yet another thing they need to do (in addition to writing and CT and teamwork and etc) … another approach is to train students as resources to faculty and peer-to-peer support but this is very resource intensive … part of her wants Mark to go into each SL course but another part wants to invest in faculty development Comment: We tend to assume that faculty want this development … multiplier effect of having faculty who learn in this area and bring their peers in Hillary: St. Joseph's University (Jesuit, Philly) has a faculty peer-mentor program in SL (new-to-SL faculty partnered with veteran SL faculty, given $150 to cover meals together throughout the year) … they also have cohort of student Reflection Leaders who are trained by SL staff to lead reflection in courses (faculty don't have much role in facilitating reflection) Comment: Linking student leadership roles like this to earlier discussion of developmental approach Comment: Do schools that do student peer mentoring well have academic structures like minors in SL? 15 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Hillary: CE minors/majors issues – is it an academic field, should it be defined as an academic field that can then be compartmentalized rather than infused (like writing …. Although there are English/rhetoric degree programs) … also a sense that there may be a way of looking at the world that is at the heart of SL/CE that would make it a legit area of study? Comment: Should we have an intercultural committee of people / programs who share this interest and help legitimize it as an area of scholarship and best practice … Comment: You can't understand another culture into you understand how you fit into power structures, including those the university is embedded within Hillary: Doing a session at PACE on Wed that likens SL partnership to relationships / marriage …. univ as a man, community as a woman, they come together to produce a project (baby) – power dynamics between univ and comm are similar to that between husband and wife historically, on some of the same dimensions (e.g., control of financial resources) … we often don't want this named Comment: Story re: United Way resisting giving his community collaborations money because of the impression that it was a university project and therefore had a lot of resources Comment: Difficulties facing his staff as they become more involved in issues around abuse, etc and realizing that they need to learn about ethical reasoning etc – hoped a Philosophy professor would come in and do some of this but it turned out that this was too threatening Comment: "Many faculty are in total denial about power" Steve: "That is their privilege" Raleigh: "They stand in front of the class and don't have to worry about it" Comment: Whether in private or public sector it is often intimidating but also very important to connect with power centers Hillary: Conversation earlier re: convincing science faculty to do SL, framing it as not only or perhaps primarily about teaching them cutting edge chemistry but developing capacities for communicating science to lay people Comment: Science education program (GK-12 ?) at UNCG that involves students in schools to help them learn how to communicate about science Comment: Part of this is going to people in power and ask them what science they use in their work and how they use it … those folks often think we in the academy are too busy to provide information and we don't know whose door to knock on even though they would welcome us … story of faculty being afraid to talk with legislators 16 | P a g e [Compiled by K.

Clayton] Hillary: Global environmental issues can help us all make connections across cultures etc whether we go abroad or not … how do we help students connect the local and global Comment: International education has to move students beyond being tourists abroad and can help them become more aware of what is under their own noses … Often it is less threatening to talk about race etc issues in the context of another country than in their local context Hillary: Nothing like looking at your own house from someone else's perspective Comment: SL field is facing the question of how, as we do a better job of creating more diverse campuses, we can deal with the issue of students having struggled to get out of limiting communities and not wanting to go back into them Comment: Case in the advance reading about this, with some students wanting to go back to help and others not – it is not monolithic Comment: The diversity in her class is such that multiple socio-economic statuses etc are represented Selena: Goes to how we are preparing students and faculty … whether the short time period makes it too problematic to do this Comment: Related to issues of re-entry … unpacking these issues through reflection … disciplines like Dan's do this naturally Comment: How do we equip students to reflect on their experiences while they are in the midst of them Hillary: What is UNCG doing to include international students in SL/service here? Comment: Working with OLSL to learn more about reflection processes they can use in Study Abroad and Exchange Comment: International students come wanting to be engaged Comment: Likes the article Hillary provided … teaches diversity course for Social Work students, which includes some things not addressed in the article, for example starting off with students examining their own cultures and their own comfort zones Hillary: Want to push students beyond their boundaries but not too far … this is going to be different for each person … it takes a lifetime, there is always work to be done, there is always unpacking of privilege to be done (for some students the fact that they are on a college campus is huge) … you cannot teach them to get it in one semester but you can teach them that there are more things to get and help them become reflective about their own lives 17 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Comment: We have been talking about students but thinking about faculty as well – reference Dan earlier on faculty being afraid to talk to legislators Hillary: Politics is messy and politicians make decisions based on politics more than on science, so often faculty don't see the point of engaging with them Comment: Part of our business is to understand how power works Hillary: Also a way to avoid complicity – we gave them the data and it's not our fault if they don't use it. 18 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Nuts & Bolts Breakout Session 3:45pm – 5:15pm Hillary's opening comments: Per Cathy and Selena there have been partnerships with other local HE institutions that have ebbed and flowed Comment: Not really an ongoing relationship – history of local and regional competition Comment: Very informal, for example at NCCC events … sometimes UNCG sends a faculty member to work with a CP who is already working with another university … Guilford County consortium of NPOs – mtg to explore collaborations … the Directors of this work on campuses recognize the need for this but have not made it happen Hillary: Background article on PHENND as an example was written 3 years ago … in a better position now … PHENND began as support gathering (convened by a GA – Amy Cohen) of Ira and his peers who were trying to move the work forward on their own campuses (1987 – 1992 ?) … in 1997 Amy wrote a proposal to Learn & Serve to support a consortium of 30 campuses (1997 – 2000) focused on Philly area, that included annual conferences, mini-grants to faculty on any of the regions campuses to do community partnership work and SL courses, newsletter that pushed out info on opportunities of interest … created a network of people interested in this kind of work … It is a loose consortium (pros and cons) – PHENND has a Board with reps from 7 institutions but otherwise there is not an official rep from each (now 40ish institutions) – PHENND does not want to have only one point of contact on a campus (Temple, for example, she works with 15 different people, who do not always know one another until she introduces them) Institutional dues in 1999 = $100 / year (Ira's desire to have everyone on board quickly) … Hillary supported the work of PHENND through grant funds for 10 years Issue of building something new on external funds – need to think about how to support the work down the road Got a sizeable grant and a big donor gift last year, that allowed her to bring on a staff person … without this $ PHENND might have shut down Hillary told the Board that they needed to be more strategic and intentional re: programs and funding … process engaged people but didn't really create a plan PHENND is located at Penn in the Netter Center, and people assumes that it is supported by them financially (but Penn just gives PHENND office space) … otherwise paid the same $200 (went up 5 years ago) as everyone else Now members will pay $1000, institutions on Board will pay $5000, and maybe Penn will pay $10,000 Lesson: You will never get consistent consortia activity without having someone whose job this is 19 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Lesson: Different levels of membership … don't have to do only what all the members want to do (can support what only a few want to do) Now a 2-fold mission: Support member campuses in doing SL/CE/partnership work Tap list of 2500 people doing interesting work in the area to mobilize HE in the Philly region on particular issues to produce synergistic impact … o 2002: Greater Philly Coalition Against Hunger (soup kitchens) got grant to work on access to food stamps issue and PHENND's rolodex was instrumental in mobilizing campus (in various roles) in this project (100 students on 7 campuses) … Coalition now has relationships with these other campuses and does not need to go through Penn … PHENDD as mediator that helped to negotiate the relationships/help de- mystify working with HE institutions for community organizations Comment: Pressure to focus on essentials in this economic climate? Value this work or we wouldn't be doing it but cannot keep doing everything we value. Hillary: PHENND put out an overview of what they have done the last few years – value added to the member campuses (grant funds, professional development for faculty, etc.) – now need to convince them to pay more than they have been – less participation from smaller campuses and from those further away from Penn … convincing them that they need to be doing more of this work and that PHENND has the resources to help with that Comment: Have gotten push-back re: collaborating with other campuses that UNCG only cares about Greensboro … new initiatives tend to get started in Greensboro through wealthy foundations, which require campus matches Hillary: Not saying don't start something until you know how you are going to continue / finish it … institutions not all equally committed (issue of whether they should all pay at the same level) Comment: UNCG was the sponsor for Senior Projects statewide but didn't sustain it Comment: There is a lot of friendly support and desire to work together across campuses – relationships of individuals have been good and are really more important than formalized institutional connections … CE improving the economic well-being of Greensboro, e.g., through job retraining, but difficult to calculate how much in $ terms is being contributed Comment: What is the form of the rolodex with 2500 names? Hillary: More a list than a database … get business card and put info into spreadsheet (contact info, issue areas of interest, etc.) … can therefore produce list of everyone interested in issue x, export email addresses, and send out info to them as a group … PHENND is not the clearinghouse of everything happening in the city but does know a lot of what is going on … newsletter now has 40 – 50 things in it each week (PHENND events, local events, speaker at one of the universities, 20 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] volunteer opportunities, conferences, grant opportunities, job opportunities, webinars, awards, etc.) … "master of the weak relational tie" (2500 weak relationships that are enough to get people returning calls, etc) Comment: Might it work for an institution to begin with itself, make available its database of what it is doing to other campuses and allow a consortium to form from that sharing? Comment: UNCG now has database of about 200 CPs – as we expand database if we make it public / open to other campuses that might violate the intent of those who are in it (e.g., community organization getting contacts from more campuses than desired) Hillary: PHENND database is not public and does not have the range of data we are talking about gathering at UNCG … will need to move in that direction as part of producing reports on what is going on in the region … looking at online platforms for this (e.g., SL Pro) but there are financial barriers (campuses supporting it) and database is only as good as our keeping it updated … found SweatMonkey (free) but this is really focused on counting hours …. Member campuses want something systematized to gather data on activities (e.g., student hours in community) but believe that neither faculty nor students are interested in doing this Comment: Back to the point re: this stuff doesn't just happen Comment: Working with VP for Planning and Assessment re: tapping reports already being produced (faculty activity report, for example) and combining that with a space for people to go in and provide more in-depth information if they want Hillary: Director of Evaluation at the Netter Center (Dr. Seuss) – her job is to figure out both what the Center is doing and its impact – not interested in a tool that only does the former …. thinking about building their own (proprietary) database that will do both Comment: What universities have done the best job in linking economic impact, learning, and faculty research/pubs (3 major concerns of the university) in telling the story of this work? Hillary: Portland State, Penn … difficult for institutions to do all of these well … Miami Dade in the community college world Comment: In tough economic times you need to pull together a lot of rationales Hillary: The $ is there, there must be a willingness to make this a priority … for example, athletics programs on campus spend a lot of $ on student insurance, travel, etc and have norms about students spending time outside of campus but this does not carry over into other arenas that we say are important 21 | P a g e [Compiled by K. Buchner and P. Clayton] Comment: Issue of university being member of multiple consortiums, PHENND vs Campus Compact, etc. Hillary: Look to Campus Compact when want best and latest info on best practices, etc and look to consortium like PHENND when want info on local issues/opportunities … some stepping on toes when it comes to grants … PACC got a grant in last LSA cycle that gave mini-grants for regional consortia … issue of how these regional consortia work with Campus Compact …. More than enough work to go around Comment: Concerns about stepping on Campus Compact's toes Hillary: Can imagine a scenario through which through Campus Compact there comes to be a staff person who is based in Greensboro Comment: On flip side of issue Jim raised about stepping on Compact's toes Hillary: Issues re: going for same grants as consortia that individual campuses also go for … PHENND is not a 501C(3) but is part of Penn so cannot compete with Penn for grants and looks like she is going for $ as Penn Comment: Challenge here might be the perception that the university is muscle-ing out the community organizations doing this work … how not to be perceived as competing with or over- running community organizations' efforts … Comment: Why did PHENND decide not to become a 501c(3)? Could then be on recipient list of United Way, serve as its own fiscal agent, etc? Hillary: Inertia from original set-up and time that would be required to deal with travel, insurance, reimbursement, grants, etc and the $ for renting facility space etc … have done cost-benefit analysis on this as part of strategic planning and at this point it isn't worth it Comment: Greensboro would benefit from a neutral non-profit consortium of institutions, parallel to the Guilford community organization consortium … can we have a NP within UNCG? Hillary: Tells people that Penn is PHENND's fiscal sponsor … there are NPs whose mission is to be the fiscal sponsor for other NPs … as far as Penn is concerned PHENND is a grant-funded program like any other research program although it functions more like an independent NP … tension between best practice of NPs of having reserve funds for a few years out and practices of HE that don't allow roll-over of funds from year to year (has to find work-arounds) Comment: HE institutions in Greensboro are very silo-ized, and a NP consortium could help address this and build more connections 22 | P a g e

Grief is a hell of a drug..
Man Steals His Father' Dead Body And Tries To Resurrect Him
A Michigan man may face charges and jail time after his grieving over his late father led him to do the unthinkable and steal the 93-year-old man's corpse from the cemetery in an attempt to 'resurrect' the body.
via My Fox Detroit
Tuesday morning, Officer George Day and his colleagues from the Detroit Police Department discovered the corpse of 93-year-old Clarence Bright at his son's home on Eastlawn stuffed in a deep freezer in the basement.
"The family members informed us that the body was in the house," said Day.
They had been searching since Monday for Bright's corpse and his casket. His funeral was Saturday, but his body was stored in the mausoleum at Gethsemane Cemetery until weather conditions allowed for his burial on Monday. That's when cemetery workers found the casket and the corpse missing.
A van was seen driving away with Bright inside.
Police were looking for Bright's 48-year-old son, who told people he was going to do something. He had a deep freezer and, police say, planned to store his father there and pray over him to resurrect him.
Losing a loved one can have you doing some crazy isht. May this man finally rest in peace….and may his son seek help.

Share Your Gossip Girl Christmas Wishes!by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, we're grateful for you visiting Gossip Girl Insider all year long, and wish you the happiest of holidays.
We hope you have an enjoyable day, and that you got everything you hoped for in your stocking. Which got our staff members thinking ...
Here's an open-ended, holiday-themed question:
If you had one Gossip Girl wish (big or small, jokingly or very seriously) what would it be? Leave a comment below and share with us!
ROMAN HOLIDAY: The holidays bring out the best in us ... usually.
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Gossip Girl
its past christmas but o well, i want more chair scenes and i want blair and chuck to get married, not soon but not at the end of the series!
Of course, like many others, I would like the show to pretty much revolve around Chair!"] And I also want the books to be more like the show, that way, when the show ends I can read the books over and over and get my weekly fix of GG! It kills me that Chuck doesn't end up with Blair in the books! Ohhh, and I want Ed Westwick as well.
I would be Blair Waldorf in real life. And yes, while we're at it more Chair sex. And bringing DERENA BACK! NEVER LOSE HOPE!
I want to meet Blake Lively and kiss Chace !
Also, I'd love if Derena would be relevant again. It sucks how fans only care about Blair and Chuck (I love them SO MUCH, but I guess the rest of the show needs some atention too !). xoxo
I want Jenny and Nate together. He should be the one taking her V-card. If that too much to ask for I want to marry Chace so we can live happily ver after. :D
If i could have my gossip girl wish, i would land chuck for myself, but not have blair suffer
New chapters in January!
more Chairrrrr!!!
I wish CW would make another spin off show focusing on Chair.
A bit flashback from their childhood and Chair stories that are not shown on GG
and of course, like any Chair fan, I would like Chair to get married on the finale of the final season :)
Also, I would like Blair's wardrobe as well.
I wish for Lily not to have cheated on Rufus. And vice versa. ...And to find Chace Crawford under my tree, of course! :)

There seems to be no single barometer to gauge the satisfaction level of the mango farmers of Rayalaseema with respect to the prices prevailing in the market. While some are satisfied with the price band, some are not at all pleased.
Mango growers from Chittoor, Nellore, Anantapur, Kadapa and Prakasam districts, who have converged here for the five-day 'Carbide-free mango mela' currently under way at MCT Nehru Lalitakala Pranganam, have different stories to narrate.
"Our 'Rayachoti Benishan' is not only a big-sized variety, but also the sweetest among all with a lot of pulp. But the lack of rains and the hailstorm last month played spoilsport," says Mallikarjuna Reddy of Chinnamandem village in Kadapa district.
On the other hand, Pullaiah of Prakasam district selling 'Pedda Rasaalu' and 'Cheruku Rasaalu' varieties claims that his mangoes are the sweetest.
The general refrain among many farmers is that the prices this year are a let-down. But Rosaiah, the farmer-turned-seller from Garladinne in Anantapur district has a different tale to narrate.
"We have better prices this year in Anantapuram and Guntakal markets. However, we could not say 'no' to our (horticulture) officials and hence came here for the expo, only to sell the fruits at a much lesser price," was his lament.
Agreed, carbide is toxic. But then what is the alternative? "Ethylene gas can ripen the mangoes naturally and we have tailor-made solutions for warehouses, wholesalers, transporters and even small-time traders," explained R. Ravi Verma, the dealer for Chemtron Science Lab, Navi Mumbai.
In fact, there is a stall at the expo to explain to the farmers the ways of optimally using ethylene gas.
Nevertheless, the common public thronging the stalls are enthusiastically buying the several varieties on display-cum-sale.

I have characters that are religious, ones that aren't, ones that are terrible people, ones that have philosophical views, ones that are apathetic, ones that would vote left, right, or middle in the next election. Some will shoot the first person to look at them funny, some are pacifists, and some are just sane Nazis
I personally think it's boring when every single character shares the person's religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, favorite foods, and would all act just like the author.
Don't take my characters' views and behavior as my own.

What to do with ginger peaches
last summer was my first summer canning and in my excitement, I put up waaaaay too many peaches in ginger syrup. I'm trying to use up all of last summers bounty, but I've run out of ideas w/ the ginger peaches. Anyone have any ideas they want to share?
Ice cream
Use it to stuff french toast
Reduce with some balsamic vinegar and make a sauce for pork chops or loin
puree some and mix into a free-form sort of trifle with either pound cake or angel food cake and fresh whipped cream. use that same puree idea over a cheesecake or ricotta tart.
dice, mix with pastry cream and stuff cream puffs.
have over waffles, with vanilla ice cream, or in between buckwheat pancakes with lots of butter.
are they too sweet to have savory purposing? they might be nice with quick-fried salty shrimp or over pork chops.
Thanks for the suggestions! @Hotoynoodle, def not too sweet for savory, I like the idea of pairing with shrimp!
Dessert pizza.
Certainly topped over french toast, pancakes or inside crepes
I bet they would make a delicious smoothie
Or with grilled chicken

Delhi Couture Week: Sridevi turns muse for Mukherjee
The premiere fashion event comes to a glamorous end in the Indian capital
- Image Credit: IANS
- Bollywood actress Sridevi walks the ramp for designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee
Ace designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee brought the curtains down at the third PCJ Delhi Couture Week (DCW) on Sunday by welcoming onto the ramp Bollywood diva Sridevi.
The actress looked gorgeous in a heavily embroidered lehanga teamed with black blouse.
"Me and my sister have always admired her beauty and for me, I think, she is someone who look fantastic whatever she wears. It was my honour to design for her as she is one of the most beautiful women Bollywood would ever have," Mukherjee said after the show.
The actress is making her comeback on the big screen with English Vinglish.
The movie also marks the directorial debut of filmmaker R. Balki's wife, Gauri Shinde.
Mukherjee, who has previously designed for well-known actresses including Vidya Balan and Rani Mukherjee, is now designing clothes for the 48-year-old.
"She [Sridevi] is the ultimate diva and I was really excited when I got this offer to design for her. One will see her flaunting different types of Indian looks in the film," the designer said.
Known for blending ethnic and modern looks, Mukherjee took inspiration from five cities from around the globe.
From the straightjacket discipline of New York, the classic nostalgia of the British Raj in Kolkata, subversive decadence of Berlin, to the incredible romance of Paris and the Bohemian feel of Barcelona, there was the mix of everything.
The show started with Sridevi walking the ramp accompanied by Shinde, who also looked gorgeous in a black khadi sari.
"I am huge fan of Sabya's design. The way he uses intricate hand-work on his collection is just fantastic. I love what he designed for me and I am looking forward for many more associations in the future," said Sridevi.
There was a heavy dose of thread work and hand embroidery in his collection, titled New Moon.
The silhoutte varied from high-waisted ghagra skirt, tulle saris, lehanga and strapless peplum kurti but the dresses that took the limelight was a white embroidered tulle sari, textured silk blouse and hand embroidered tulle wrap.
Also present to watch the show was veteran actress Shabana Azmi and designers Ritu Kumar, Anju Modi and Poonam Bhagat.

Bill applies his own tips for trail-camera use and moving in and out of your stand without spooking deer in pursuit of the "Double G-4" buck.
Now is the time to start putting out the trail cameras. Many people put out trail cameras in the summer, but as I have stated a few times in this blog and on the videos we have been producing for AmericanHunter.org, bucks have separate summer and fall ranges. The photos you get in the summer are fun, but are not as useful when forming a hunting strategy as many hunters may think. Instead, it is the photos that you get well after the bucks break up their bachelor groups and settle into their fall ranges that reveal the most information. That effort starts right now.
A Nebraska hunter's trail cam caught some truly remarkable footage of a cougar on the heels of a whitetail deer.

News in Brief: A Washington Roundup
Education Spending Flat Under Panel Plan
The House Appropriations Committee voted last week to essentially freeze overall spending at the Department of Education.
The $56.7 billion in discretionary spending approved by the committee dismissed President Bush's request to cut the agency's budget, eclipsing his fiscal 2006 request by nearly $650 million. The Republican-controlled panel also rejected a few of Mr. Bush's top priorities, especially new plans to improve high schools. ("House Panel Turns Down Bush's High School Agenda," June 15, 2005.)
The bill for the departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education was passed by a voice vote on June 16.
The House bill would keep funding about the same for certain major programs, like Title I, teacher-quality state grants, and Reading First. But it would reduce or abolish the budgets for others. The bill would create the Teacher Incentive Fund, a merit-pay initiative proposed by President Bush, though the $100 million funding level is well below Mr. Bush's request.
Democrats have complained that the bill would shortchange programs for education and other top priorities.
Rep. David R. Obey of Wisconsin, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, backed away from his plans to offer an amendment to exempt states and districts from the No Child Left Behind Act's demands if the law was not "fully" funded.

Sea Cliff author Margaret Gay Malone is one of 11 authors whose short stories have been selected for publication in the Tuscany Press Anthology in 2015.
The story, Jimmy's Gift, centers around a boy whose generosity and selflessness put him in danger on a brutally cold and snowy day. Malone says it is based on a true story after reading a blurb in Reader's Digest a few years ago about a 12-year-old boy who walked through the snow to help deliver food baskets to those in need; and it turned out that his family's name was also on the list of those in need of help in the community.
