    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.

  • 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.

    JUNE 2018 UNITED BOARD FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION IN ASIA Investing in Leadership In this issue: A Special Focus on Leadership Development Message from the President Leadership and Learning “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” Those inspiring words were part of a speech that John F. Kennedy planned to deliver in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, before tragedy intervened. I find that this short sentence – just eight words long – aptly describes the reason why the United Board has made leadership development a central focus of our programming. Without leaders who are committed, caring, and, at times, critical of the status quo, how can we be assured that students at colleges and universities will have access to education that enriches them intellectually, spiritually, and ethically? My interaction with the leaders of our network institutions in Asia is always rewarding, particularly when I see the ways in which they confront challenges with grace, an understanding of their mission, and an inclusive approach to finding solutions. Equally inspiring are the “rising” leaders who participate in our leadership development programs – Nancy E. Chapman the mid-career faculty and administrators eager for opportunities to develop their talents President and skills and engage with peers from other countries. All are articulate in describing the hurdles they see and the solutions they envision. This issue of Horizons gives special attention to the topic of leadership. We are honored to share “Leadership development is a central the reflections of two university leaders: Roland Chin, the current president of Hong Kong focus of our programming. Baptist University, and Budi Widianarko, the recently retired rector of Soegijapranata Catholic University in Indonesia.
