    New Horizons in Education, Vol.57, No.3 (Special Issue), December 2009 Where we are now: a review of service-learning among SLAN Colleges and universities in Asia Florence E. McCarthy International Christian University Abstract Background: Service-learning in the Service-Learning Asian Network (SLAN), is organized as part of the academic structure of member institutions, and includes both international and community (domestic) service-learning. SLAN began with the exchange of students between SLAN institutions and has progressed to multicultural service-learning exchange programs and collaborative research. Aim: The intent of this article is to illustrate the development of Asian service-learning by reviewing the progress that has been made in six SLAN service-learning programs, illustrating differences and shared characteristics. These include: consistency in programs, multicultural exchange, and collaborative research. Lessons learned and main outcomes of the research are presented. Argument: Among lessons learned are the importance of multicultural programs to promote greater acceptance and understanding of socio-cultural differences by students; the importance of student preparation before service, and community agency orientation to enhance the reciprocities of exchange between students, agency staff, and local people. Student outcomes include personal growth, enhanced social skills, intercultural learning, and increased academic abilities. Conclusions: Progress has been made in institutionalizing service-learning among SLAN institutions.

  • United Board Faculty Scholarship Program
    United Board Faculty Scholarship Program 2020-2021 Program Guidelines Introduction The United Board Faculty Scholarship Program supports junior faculty to pursue postgraduate degree studies at the master’s or doctoral levels. United Board scholarships are designed for developing colleges and universities in the United Board network in Asia that need to upgrade their teaching faculty, have a plan for faculty development, and are committed to providing whole person education for their students. Over the last two decades, hundreds of young scholars have benefited from the program. Candidates are required to study full-time in English-medium graduate degree programs based at United Board network institutions or approved institutions within the Asia- Pacific region but located outside of their home countries. A list of these universities and their English-medium degree programs can be found on the Faculty Scholarship Program webpage. The United Board is prepared to contribute up to US$12,000 of scholarship support per scholar per year. Grantees showing satisfactory progress in their doctoral programs generally may renew their scholarships for a maximum of four years of support; master’s level students may receive up to two years of support. Additional one-time support for field research (maximum US$ 800) and/or conference attendance (maximum US$ 500) related to a doctoral dissertation in the final year is possible, and a request should be submitted when applying for scholarship renewal. United Board scholarships generally cover tuition, room and board, and a modest monthly allowance. In some cases, the host university will share costs with the United Board by waiving full or partial tuition costs.

  • The 2021-2022 United Board Fellows Program Guidelines
    United Board Fellows Program 2021-2022 Program Guidelines Introduction The United Board Fellows Program aims to develop higher education leaders in Asia who are committed to advancing whole person education. It provides opportunities for mid-career faculty and administrators to explore leadership concepts and practices in different cultural contexts. After acquiring vital new skills, ideas, and perspectives during the program, Fellows return home ready to undertake new initiatives and are often promoted to positions with greater responsibility. Since 2002, more than 250 Fellows from over 50 universities and colleges in 11 countries and regions of Asia have been selected for this program. This one-year experience features an intensive two-week summer institute at the Singapore Management University; a one-to-four-month placement at an established Asian college or university, or a two-week study trip in another Asian country/region (excluding Australia and New Zealand); and a final seminar in a major city in Asia. The United Board will cover all program-related costs, except for the visa, health insurance, ground transportation, and incidentals. Program Duration The 2021-2022 program will be held from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. (Note that Fellows will be back at their home institutions between each component.) However, the program may be extended due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions. Changes to the Program Starting from this cohort, two major changes will be introduced in the Fellows Program. First, the Summer Institute will be hosted in Asia, after running by our partners in the U.S.A. for the past four years.

  • United Board Faculty Scholarship Program 2022 – 2023 Program Guidelines
    United Board Faculty Scholarship Program 2022 – 2023 Program Guidelines Introduction The United Board Faculty Scholarship Program aims at helping colleges and universities in the United Board network by supporting junior faculty to pursue postgraduate degrees at master’s or doctoral level. Over the last two decades, hundreds of young faculty scholars have benefited from the program. More information can be found at: https://unitedboard.org/programs/faculty-development/faculty-scholarship-program/ Given the growing need for high quality teaching, the United Board has expanded the current scholarship program. Study-Abroad Scholarship The United Board provides up to US$12,000 of Study-Abroad Scholarship per scholar per year for full-time degree programs, taught in English, within the Asia-Pacific region but located outside of one’s home country. The United Board reserves the right to adjust the scholarship amount if the scholar does online studies from his/her home country. Scholarship applicants may seek admission at institutions within and beyond the United Board network, provided they are recognized by the national governments’ regulating agencies. Scholarship applicants are expected to research thoroughly the potential host institution’s academic programs to ensure that their chosen fields fulfill their needs and that of their home institutions. Scholarship Coverage The annual scholarship is normally up to US$12,000. It generally covers tuition, room and board, travel insurance and a modest monthly allowance. Many host universities share costs with the United Board to signify their partnership through full or partial tuition waiver. If the required annual budget prepared by the host institution exceeds the maximum scholarship grant from the United Board, the scholars would need to secure additional funding from themselves, their home institutions, or other sources.

    1 Luce Chapel is a renowned architecture in Taiwan. With its outstanding achievements, it certainly stands outin the modern architectural movement of Preface post-war Taiwan. In October 2014, Luce Chapel was chosen to be one of the ten global classic modern architectures, and the first project within Asian architecture,which received the first “Keeping It Modern” (hereafter abbreviated as KIM) Grant from the Getty Foundation. The Grant acknowledgesthese 20th century modern architectures as milestones of human civilization. With high experimental mentalities, groups of architects and engineersof the previous centuryboldlytried out exploratory materials and cutting edge construction techniques, and built innovative architectures thathave stimulated changes in their surrounding environments, histories, local culture, and forever transformed the philosophical approaches of architecture. However, the Getty Foundation also regards these architectures to be under various degrees of risks. Being fifty to sixty or even older, many of these innovative materials and techniques boldly used at the time oftheirsconstruction were not, and still have not been scientifically tested and analyzed to this very day. Furthermore, the productions of many of these materials have been discontinued due to low adoptions in the market, making conservations even more difficult. Therefore, the Getty Foundation KIM grants promote the sustainable conservation of modern architecture. This focus has also been the core value of the Luce Chapel conservation project. Built in 1963, Luce Chapel has stood on the campus of Tunghai University for over 50 years. This building was designed and built to function as a church building, and has maintained its religious purpose over the years.However, as the number of faculty and students continues to grow,the space demand for community engagements and ceremonial activities of colleges and departments on campus have also increased extensively.
