This first of its kind symposium in New Jersey will focus on a Campus Compact agenda to advance and expand the quality and quantity of service learning courses being offered on all campuses across the state. This agenda is necessary to ensuring that recognized High Impact Practices are made available fairly and equitably to students of all means, races, backgrounds, and importantly, regardless of choice of college – practices that are accepted as beneficial to student retention and success, along with many other benefits to communities and campus culture alike.

The symposium is broadly suited to a range of faculty experiences, from those not yet versed in service learning practices, right through to more advanced service learning practitioners. In addition, administrators should come to learn about how to support faculty in developing service learning courses. The collective benefit of this breadth of audience is to ensure that we build the network of service learning enthusiasts right here in the Garden State, with the support of Campus Compact.
