Portrait of a Work-Study Program Assessment
Ghant, Walter A.; Horst, S. Jeanne; Whetstone, Devon H.
Journal of College Student Development, v57 n2 p210-212 Mar 2016
Institutions of higher education invest time and money directing cocurricular programs that allow students to formally engage in the local community. Community-service learning is one type of program recently dubbed "high impact" (Kuh, 2008). However, it is not enough to simply refer to a program as "high impact": it is essential to demonstrate actual impact on student learning. This report provides a portrait of one community service-learning program's assessment of student learning.
