On behalf of the Bonner Foundation and Waynesburg University, we welcome you to the 2019 Bonner Summer Leadership Institute. Each summer, this conference provides student leaders, staff, faculty, and partners a chance to learn from each other and to celebrate our impact. This year’s theme, “Leaving Your Fingerprints,” will allow us to delve more deeply into the many ways that we, as individuals and together, make a difference in our own lives and those of our communities.

Students, staff, and faculty colleagues from Waynesburg, its Center for Service Leadership, and the Bonner Foundation are eager to welcome everyone to this special event. We gather representatives from across the Bonner network and its 65 colleges and universities, with staff from more than 15 national partner organizations present. Over the past several months, the Waynesburg SLI Planning Team has been hard at work with everything from recruiting workshops, making mugs, ordering linens, and planning amazing social events. We are grateful and excited to create so many meaningful memories with you this week. We hope you have an excellent time in and around Waynesburg!

The mission of Waynesburg University is faith, learning, and service – and students contribute more than 50,000 hours of service learning and community/civic engagement yearly. During your stay here, we encourage you to learn more and explore around the community in which we serve and the beautiful campus. While in Waynesburg, be sure to visit some hidden treasures on campus such as the Unity Trail, Miller Hall, and Hanna Hall. We have many social events planned throughout the week. So, we invite you to get to know others from all around the world and interact during these events.

We are also grateful to you, our Bonner community. Thanks for choosing to make service and social justice an integral part of your life’s work and identity. We are excited to grow together over the next few days in pursuit of making more equitable and just communities. No matter if this is your first Bonner gathering or tenth, we value your place in this network and community. So, enjoy SLI, and don’t forget to share your photos and insights! Bonner Love <3

- 4 - A MESSAGE from WAYNESBURG’s president DOUG lee

At Waynesburg University, each year during our incoming student orientation, we urge our new students to consider the question: “Where will you leave your fingerprints?” This tradition stems from the early years of the University. More than a century ago, a group of dedicated students with a vision for what Waynesburg University could be shaped 803,000 bricks to help build Miller Hall. They left their mark behind in the form of fingerprints that are still visible on the bricks today.

Likewise, Bonner Scholars and Leaders across the country are charged with a similar task as they enrich their communities through meaningful service and civic engagement. Each year, Bonner Programs offered by more than 60 colleges and universities across the nation engage more than 3,000 undergraduates in a four-year developmental experience of service and learning. It is a privilege to be a part of that.

The fundamental values of the Corella & Bertram F. Bonner Foundation align closely with Waynesburg University’s own mission, and for that reason it is truly a distinct honor to welcome Bonner Leaders and Scholars from across the country to our campus for the 2019 Bonner Summer Leadership Institute.

Our own rich history with the Bonner Foundation began nearly three decades ago, and since then, the Bonner Program has become an integral part of Waynesburg University. Through our program, a generation of young leaders has become vital contributors to society through initiating thoughtful and strategic public service.

I urge each of you to be open to growth this week as you are immersed in this wonderful learning experience, and I propose that you, too, thoughtfully consider the very important question: “Where will you leave your fingerprints?”

Douglas G. Lee President, Waynesburg University

- 5 - About waynesburg University

Waynesburg University, a private, Christian university, provides a valuable, personal, and hands- on educational experience that prepares undergraduate and graduate students for lives of purpose and continued growth. The university was founded in 1849 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Waynesburg University’s main campus is located in Waynesburg, PA, with three additional sites for graduate and professional studies in the Pittsburgh region. Since its inception, Waynesburg University has consistently ranked as a top value school in ranking systems that examine outcomes and fiscal responsibility. Waynesburg University has emerged as a national leader in educational value and has built a reputation on affordability. With our motto of “Fiat Lux” meaning “Let there be light,” the University also maintains a commitment to service as a way of witnessing the love of God to the world. Graduates have become missionaries, educators, political leaders, and businesspeople who carry that mission throughout their lives. Waynesburg University was one of the earliest schools in America to develop programs that accepted both male and female students. Unique to Waynesburg University is a service-learning class, which is a General Education requirement that all students must fulfill in order to obtain their degree. Our Mission and Values Waynesburg University educates students to make connections between faith, learning, and service so they might faithfully transform their communities and the world. We strive to inspire and challenge every undergraduate and graduate student to a life of servant leadership and purpose for the glory of God. Waynesburg University strives to be a premier institution of Christian higher education recognized for a commitment to its strong mission and its preparation of 21st-century leaders through innovative, student-centered learning experiences. A few interesting things about Waynesburg University… • Hanna Hall, built in 1851, is home to the WU business program. As a building on the National Register of Historic Places, it is noted for its historical significance being the first Waynesburg University building. • Miller Hall was built by Alfred B. Miller, the former President of the college from 1859 to 1899. With the help of students attending the university, they made many of the 1,400,000 bricks by hand from the clay that they dug on site. If you look closely, you can see the fingerprints in the bricks (which is where this year’s theme, “Leaving Your Fingerprints” came from). Similar to Hanna Hall, Miller Hall has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978. • We have a museum on campus! The Paul R. Stewart Museum has a vast and varied collection that appeals to almost any curiosity. Its holdings include mineral specimens; fossils; Native American artifacts; local pottery and glass; objects and documents pertaining to the history of Waynesburg University; objects and documents with local, national, and international historical and cultural significance, and more! - 6 - About Waynesburg’s center for service leadership The Center for Service Leadership prides itself on being an open and caring space where people can come and develop their individual passions and skill sets. Over the past several decades, The Center has been working with students to connect with the local community, start new initiatives and develop service opportunities locally, nationally, and globally. Our mission is to build servant leaders as they learn how to make connections between their head, heart, and hands. Waynesburg University’s commitment to service involves partnerships with over 50 local, regional, and international service agencies. We engage students in service-learning classes that blend lecture and practical application and facilitate mission and service trips throughout the summer and during school breaks.

Through the Center for Service Leadership, students volunteer with hospitals, libraries, city revitalization efforts, food banks, habitat organizations and more. In addition to weekly opportunities, the Center for Service Leadership coordinates Service Saturdays that provide additional service opportunities throughout the community. The Center for Service Leadership also supports the Bonner Scholar Program, a scholarship opportunity that connects students with financial need to a transformative service-learning journey.

The Bonner Program at Waynesburg has been growing and changing for 27 years. In 1992 Waynesburg University was one of the first schools selected by the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation to participate in the Bonner Scholars Program. As a Bonner Scholar School, Waynesburg awards 15 new scholarships each academic year. Waynesburg’s Bonner Program fosters 60 students, who each serve in many different capacities that span from tutoring at a local after-school program to sending a student to represent Waynesburg at the Annual Suicide Prevention Conference in Harrisburg, PA.

In 2012 Waynesburg University hosted the National Bonner Congress, celebrating 20 years of participation in the Bonner Scholars Program. In 2014 Waynesburg University joined the Bonner Foundation’s High-Impact Initiative. The program is intended to help campuses scale effective community engagement initiatives that reach more students and maximize the meaningful impact for communities. As one of 24 participating schools, Waynesburg University is taking steps to infuse high impact practices into the fabric of everyday life at the University, ultimately resulting in valuable, strategic engagement within the local community.

- 7 - About Waynesburg, PA & Appalachia

With a population of 4,131, Waynesburg lies about 60 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.

Waynesburg welcomes you with a host of charming amenities often found in more densely populated areas. Waynesburg is growing but still maintains its’ neighborly feel. As the county seat, Waynesburg is home to the Greene County government, human services, and the judicial system. Stroll along the quaint streets and find unique shops and restaurants. The town's forefathers allowed for community green space in their planning and today, just two blocks from the heart of downtown, a wonderful park system exists.

Residents have the best of both worlds. The rural lifestyle is flavored by the past and reflects the agricultural and mining heritage of this area. Yet, with I-79, one is minutes from Pittsburgh and major league sports, cultural events, world- class medical care, and the urban experience.

The region is underlaid with several strata of coking coal, including the Pittsburgh No. 8 seam, the Waynesburg seam and the Sewickley, or Mapletown seam. The area is also rich with coalbed methane, which is currently being developed from the several underlying coal seams as an alternative fuel source. At one time, there were also natural gas and oil deposits in the area. The Marcellus Shale, the largest domestic natural gas reserve, is currently being developed in Waynesburg and throughout Greene County. Early in the 20th century, four large gas compressing stations and a shovel factory were located in Waynesburg. It is named after General "Mad" Anthony Wayne who served with George Washington in the Revolutionary War.

Of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania, Greene County, where Waynesburg University is located, is the 2nd poorest County in our Commonwealth. The need for sustainable solutions to the challenges facing our rural community is sizable. Due to the rural nature of our community and the economic challenges over the last seven decades, generational welfare continues to exist. This is where our University partners with our community in addressing the challenges and uses these learning opportunities to educate our students outside the classroom by addressing real-life situations.

Despite some adversity, the Waynesburg community has proven to be the loving and thriving place that everyone wants to call home.

- 8 - About The Theme Leaving Your Fingerprints

The 2019 Bonner Summer Leadership Institute is focused on developing and cultivating the roles and impact of each Bonner student, administrator, faculty, and national partners in service. Through the perspective of rural Southwestern PA, we will dive into how to leave a sustainable, positive impact on the communities we serve each day. We look forward to growing together and learning from each other about the importance of intentional problem-solving as we leave our fingerprints in our local communities.

The Waynesburg Team has especially sought to highlight some of the outstanding aspects of Appalachian culture in rural southwestern Pennsylvania and the work of its students as servant leaders. Thus, we have tagged some of the workshops through which you, as a participant, can explore four key themes. Sustainable Service and Community Impact workshops will explore and reflect the importance of healthy service relationships through an intentional perspective. Placed Based Knowledge and Appalachian Culture workshops will provide an understanding of the culture, environment, economics, and struggles of the Appalachian people and ask you to reflect on your own community. Building Campus-wide Engagement workshops will acquaint students with the community building initiatives within the Waynesburg Bonner Program. Social entrepreneurship and Innovation workshops will concentrate on developing innovative approaches to service. To find elective workshops corresponding to these topics, be on the lookout throughout the conference program for the four icons representing each of these categories. Plus, there are workshops that especially target student leadership development or staff professional development, as you’ll see.
