- W2187968849 abstract "standing in the global arena. Universities, in response, have embraced reform initiatives targeted at helping meet these expectations. Focusing mainly on Kenyatta University’s (KU), this paper examines the potential of one such initiative— community service—in facilitating the transforming of higher education for graduate employability and community development. The introduction discusses changes in Kenya’s higher education landscape in the era of globalization and outlines key strategic initiatives, among them community service, that KU has undertaken with the aim of strengthening the connection between university and the ‘real world’. The second section offers a description of the Directorate of Community Outreach and Extension Programmes (COEP), which was launched in June 2008 and charged to coordinate community service among the students and members of teaching and non-teaching staff at KU. The section highlights COEP’s mission, goals, structure, and institutionalization while emphasizing the central role of the Students Community Service Programme (SCSP). The third section uses data gathered from students and supervisors involved in SCSP to highlight the potential of student community service in: 1) helping develop generic skills that are likely to enhance the employability of graduates, and 2) strengthening university’s engagement with broad social and economic challenges facing Kenyan communities. The last section deals with the role that community service can play in facilitating institutional change geared toward meeting these two goals." @default.
