A SEASON OF SERVICE | II 2005–2006 has been a year of milestones for Campus Compact. We celebrated the 20th anniversary of our founding as the first A Report higher education association dedicated to advancing civic and community engagement. We surpassed the 1,000-member mark from the for the first time in that 20-year history.We saw the annual value President & of service performed by students at our member schools surpass Board Chair $5 billion. And we brought in a new national President to guide the organization into its third decade. Some things have not changed in the 20 years since Campus Compact began. We remain the only national organization focused solely on promoting campus engagement. Our research, resources, training, advocacy, and initiatives are widely recog- nized as essential to advancing the field. Our member Presidents—and their students, faculty members, administrators, and community service staff—are more dedicated than ever to promoting civic ideals. How do we know we are making a tangible impact? Our work, and the work of our member campuses, is increasingly recog- nized by media, government, business, foundation, and commu- nity leaders. Regional accreditation boards are incorporating civic engagement into their criteria. Ranking bodies such as The Princeton Review now include community work in their campus assessments.The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has created a new Community Engagement classifica- tion.The federal government has initiated the President’s Higher Maureen F. Curley Education Community Service Honor Roll. All of these develop- President, Campus Compact ments reflect the outstanding work of our member campuses; all spring from initiatives in which Campus Compact has played a key role. The impact on communities has been equally transformative. Over the past two decades, Campus Compact has mobilized more than 20 million students to engage in service and service- learning programs in their communities. In the 2004–2005 aca- demic year alone, these students contributed 298 million hours of service in areas such as hunger, homelessness, literacy, health care, and the environment. As we look back on 20 years of success, we are also keeping our eyes firmly on the future. Our campuses and our communities face many difficult issues—how to expand opportunities for all, how to create equitable economic development, how to enhance environmental sustainability, and especially how to educate a new generation of responsible leaders who are equipped to address these and other issues. Campus Compact will continue to provide the tools and knowledge to help our 1,000+ member John J. DeGioia campuses make it happen.

Advocacy: Campus Compact’s advocacy work includes campaigns to preserve public funding for service and service- learning, as well as resources such as policy updates, action alerts, and online tools for affecting legislation. Results: More than 30% of students at Campus Compact member schools are involved in community work—a three- fold increase in the past seven years. These students contributed an estimated $5.6 billion in direct service to their communities in 2005–2006.

  • Libraries Address the Challenges Of
    Presented at the 3rd International Conference on Asynchronous Learning Networks, Oct. 5, 1997, blue=external Web link LIBRARIES ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING Joanne Eustis Gail McMillan Director, Planning and Program Review Director, Scholarly Communications Project Information Systems, Virginia Tech University Libraries, Virginia Tech Institutional Context In recent times most institutions of higher education have had to reconsider policies and procedures in the face of closer scrutiny. Traditions such as tenure, shared governance, and the focus on conventional degree programs are being challenged and modified as a result of pressure from governing boards and state legislators. Rising costs and declining budgets demand increased efficiency while changing demographics require programs that are responsive to a more diverse population of learners. The result is that academia is being compelled to operate more like industry in considering the needs of its clients. Reductions in state support at a number of public universities combined with additional regulation are leading to a renegotiation of institutional roles as state agencies. Both the benefits and constraints that state support imposes are being reconsidered in light of new economic realities. Computing and Communications Technologies While changing technology is not the cause of these phenomena, computing and telecommunications technologies are perceived by many to have the potential to deliver asynchronous instruction that will enable higher education to respond to its critics, meet assessment requirements, and garner sufficient revenue to remain viable in a new century. In response to user needs and demands coupled with changing computer technologies, libraries, in their role as the major information provider for institutions of higher education, have moved beyond automated access tools such as online catalogs and indexed databases.

  • WOMEN and the MAA Women's Participation in the Mathematical Association of America Has Varied Over Time And, Depending On
    WOMEN AND THE MAA Women’s participation in the Mathematical Association of America has varied over time and, depending on one’s point of view, has or has not changed at all over the organization’s first century. Given that it is difficult for one person to write about the entire history, we present here three separate articles dealing with this issue. As the reader will note, it is difficult to deal solely with the question of women and the MAA, given that the organization is closely tied to the American Mathematical Society and to other mathematics organizations. One could therefore think of these articles as dealing with the participation of women in the American mathematical community as a whole. The first article, “A Century of Women’s Participation in the MAA and Other Organizations” by Frances Rosamond, was written in 1991 for the book Winning Women Into Mathematics, edited by Patricia Clark Kenschaft and Sandra Keith for the MAA’s Committee on Participation of Women. The second article, “Women in MAA Leadership and in the American Mathematical Monthly” by Mary Gray and Lida Barrett, was written in 2011 at the request of the MAA Centennial History Subcommittee, while the final article, “Women in the MAA: A Personal Perspective” by Patricia Kenschaft, is a more personal memoir that was written in 2014 also at the request of the Subcommittee. There are three minor errors in the Rosamond article. First, it notes that the first two African- American women to receive the Ph.D. in mathematics were Evelyn Boyd Granville and Marjorie Lee Browne, both in 1949.
