[ASPA] New Paper on Social Capital and Service-Learning

[Bergrud, Erik]

Park University's International Center for Civic Engagement (ICCE) has
published its third white paper.  In "Social Capital: Lessons from a
Service-Learning Program," Maria D'Agostino, assistant professor at John Jay
College of Criminal Justice, describes the relationships between social
capital, service-learning and higher education.  She writes, "Confronted with
decreasing civic engagement and social capital, universities are being sought
as partners in the movement to address our faltering democracy. University
based service-learning programs provide an opportunity to address our
faltering democracy, while addressing the University mission of service to
the community."  Access the paper online at
