PC05: Service-Learning in Communication: A Decade in Review - Rengaging Our Commitment

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

2009 marks the 10th anniversary of the start of the NCA-Campus Compact project to integrate service-learning pedagogy, an important form of experiential learning, into the communication curriculum. The panelists will reflect on the contributions of service-learning to making communication an “engaged” discipline that, at its core, attempts to connect theory and practice with communities. Moreover, they will examine NCA’s role in promoting engaged pedagogy and scholarship, especially service-learning, thus setting an agenda for 2014.
