They frame critical topics, bring new evidence to bear on a wide range of issues, propose innovative ideas, and gather sector leaders and experts to reach constructive solutions. Each program serves as an impartial forum, and each is unique in its substance and approach. Together they share a common mission and methodology: convening diverse perspectives for informed dialogue and action.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1 Part One THE CONTEXT OF THE TASK FORCE REPORT The decade of the nineties was a period of significant change — and at times upheaval – for the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (UMA). On several fronts the campus advanced its position as an important center for teaching, research and service to the public: • The Board of Higher Education selected UMass Amherst in 1997 as the home of the statewide honors college — Commonwealth College. The first class was enrolled in 1999. • For the past two years, UMass Amherst has been named one of the institutions offering the best value for the money in the Kaplan/Newsweek college guide, and this year was also listed as a leading school supporting diversity. • The 1995 National Research Council (NRC) ranking of research doctoral programs placed UMass Amherst in the top 25% nationally in Linguistics, Materials Science, Psychology, Computer Sciences, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.

  • A Service Year a Cultural Expectation, a Common Opportunity, and a Civic Rite of Passage for Every Young American
    A SERVICE YEAR A CULTURAL EXPECTATION, A COMMON OPPORTUNITY, AND A CIVIC RITE OF PASSAGE FOR EVERY YOUNG AMERICAN THE VISION The Franklin Project envisions a future in which a year of full-time national service — a service year — is a cultural expectation, a common opportunity, and a civic rite of passage for every young American. Each person can fulfill his or her national service obligation by joining the military or by completing a full-time civilian service year through programs such as Teach for America, AmeriCorps, and the Peace Corps, or any eligible nonprofit. A modest living allowance would be provided for the service year, which would be completed at some point between the ages of 18-28. THEORY OF THE FRANKLIN PROJECT We believe that spending a year in full-time service is a transformative experience for young citizens and future leaders. We’re focused on promoting a service year as a civic rite of passage because it will connect individuals to something bigger than themselves and to the idea that citizenship requires more from each of us than is currently expected. A generation of Americans spending a year in full-time service will unleash a reservoir of human capital to tackle pressing social challenges, unite diverse Americans in common purpose, and cultivate the next generation of leaders. HOW IT WILL WORK: A NEW RITE OF PASSAGE INTO ADULTHOOD RECRUIT SERVE CONNECT ATTRACTRECRUIT YOUNG PEOPLE TO THE PLACE 18- TO 28- YEAR-OLDS INTO ATTACH FULL-TIME SERVICE TO SERVICE YEAR EXPERIENCE SERVICE YEAR POSITIONS EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION CONTEXT In 2011, AmeriCorps CONTEXT Nonprofits and federal, CONTEXT Service years are an asset had 580,000 applications for 80,000 state, and local governments to career and adult development, positions, and studies show recognize national service as a rather than an interruption — and that millennials are increasingly cost-effective solution to meet their service year alumni make better inclined to serve, volunteering at missions, and colleges have already employees and more mature students.

UMass Selects a Elements of a New President Search Strategy Richard A. Hogarty The selection of a new university president, an event of major importance in academic life, is usually filled with tensions on the part of those concerned about its outcome. The 1992 presidential search at the University of Massachusetts exemplifies such ten- sions. There were mixed reactions to the overall performance. When they finished reviewing candidates, the search committee had eliminated all but Michael K. Hooker, who, they deemed, has the necessary competence, vision, and stature for the task. The main conflict centered on the question of "process" versus "product. " The trustees rejoiced in what they considered an impressive choice, while many faculty were angered over what they considered a terrible process.

  • Steve, Attached You Will Find an Agenda for the 3
    Steve, Attached you will find an agenda for the 3 day leadership training I received as part of the Aspen Institute/Franklin Project Ambassador/Fellowship. I was recently selected as an Ambassador/Fellow. The fellowship is an unpaid year-long fellowship supported by the Aspen Institute to promote National service which includes service in the Military and Public Service. 50 Ambassadors/Fellows were chosen from across the United States and all Ambassadors were at the 3 day training. I previously served in two Americorps programs; City Year and Public Allies. The Franklin Project envisions a future in which a year of full-time national service is a cultural expectation, a common opportunity, and a civic rite of passage for every young American. The Aspen Institute/Franklin Project Aspen Institute (Ambassadors) is leading the effort to improve citizenship by giving every young person in America the opportunity to serve. Sometime between the ages of 18 and 28, the young person would do a fully paid, full-time year of service in one of an array of areas, including health, poverty, conservation, or education. These young people will not only do good work and solve problems, but they will also become better young Americans. Let me know if you have any questions.
