Description
What do an adolescent self-esteem workshop for African-American girls, a food and clothing pantry, a Young Authors event in Montego Bay, Jamaica, an HIV/AIDS awareness brochure for a Chicago health-care facility, an after-school program for low income students, and an international student awareness survey have in common? Each started as an idea born of a personal passion and then grew into a semester-long service-learning project for six honors students at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. Trinity Christian College has a long history of service to its community, a middle-class suburb south of Chicago that has a long Dutch tradition. In 2005 the college instituted an office of Community Partnerships to further its community service commitment, but efforts have just begun to incorporate service-learning into the academic arena of the college. Each year at Trinity professors are asked to submit course proposals for the Honors Program, and in the spring of 2006 I was pleased to find that my course submission, Academic Partnered Learning or Service-Learning Across the Curriculum, had been accepted as part of the fall course offerings, available to any Trinity student enrolled in the Honors Program. Trinity students accepted into the program must take Honors Writing, Honors Philosophy, one honors interim, one honors seminar, and at least two semester-hours of honors work in their major. My course met the honors seminar requirement and was geared to students' academic pursuits and majors as well as their extracurricular passions and interests.
