- W93323190 abstract "During the fall semester of 1990, the Southern University System became the first public institution in the state of Louisiana to require its students to render sixty clock hours of community volunteerism for graduation. It was envisioned that the community service activities performed by the more than 16,000 students would be laboratory extensions of the classroom, while at the same time addressing some of the serious social and educational problems which afflicted the State of Louisiana. The most compelling reason for establishing the community service requirement, however, was that the University believed that its graduates would now have a greater sensitivity for the needs of humanity and that they would view volunteerism as a legitimate means for addressing those needs. The university also believed that volunteerism in the minority community was an indispensable activity in creating a society in which the quality of life is improved. The fact that our public university took a futuristic approach in 1990 by making service learning an integral component of the academic program is unique in higher education. In 1983 the Alliance for Service learning set standards that helped to define the framework for service learning. These standards, based on a combined knowledge of practice and expertise ultimately gave impetus to the development of service learning programs throughout the country. However, the movement did not become a nationally recognizable one until 1992. By that time this university had established the Center for Service Learning at the main campus in Baton Rouge. Because the university's mission stressed teaching, research and service, the Center for Service Learning became a means by which the university could implement innovative ways to render service to the community. Following program approval, eighty service agencies were identified within the surrounding neighborhood of which students could be assigned for service. More than 2,000 students have performed community service in the areas of health promotion, nutrition counseling, crisis intervention, financial advisement, neighborhood redevelopment, drug education, parenting skills and tutoring. From the recipient side, persons were taught to read and write at the six grade level and beyond. Students helped to create behavioral changes in at-risk youngsters who moved from antisocial behavioral traits to eagerness to learn. From the university student side, faculty members saw a heightened sensitivity for the needs of the less fortunate and for volunteerism in general. In a recent survey, it was found that students who entered the program with great reluctance, returned for more volunteer work well beyond the graduation requirements. Students have also taken on jobs with service agencies as a result of their community service assignments. In a recent survey of volunteers, it was found that the academic performance of students improved as a result of participation in community service, which required more structure, planning and discipline. …" @default.
