T h e C o r e l l a & B e r t r a m F. Bonner Foundation Welcome to the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Bonner Program and our 2015 Summer Leadership Institute. It’s hard to believe that we’ve already reached this milestone. I wasn’t working at the Bonner Foundation when the program began at Berea College in the Fall of 1990 (I came in February, 1992). But I do remember a conversation with Wayne Meisel when he asked me if I thought he should take the foundation job he had been offered. Wayne and I would talk every few months. I heard about the start of the Crisis Ministry Program, which provides funding to food banks, food pantries, and soup kitchens. I learned later that this effort was inspired by the experiences Mrs. Bonner had while working alongside Rev. Downey’s wife to support lowincome single mothers in their community. Within a year of Wayne’s arrival at the Foundation, the outlines for the Bonner Scholars Program had come into focus. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Bonner were able to complete college. Their motivation to help students get a college education was merged with Berea College’s model for student labor. The only difference was that the labor of Bonner Scholars would take the form of community service. The rest is history. And it is this history that we gather here to tell and to celebrate. As the story gets told, I hope you’ll learn that the Bonner Program has many Wayne Meisel’s notes outlining idea of the Bonner Program, 1990. founders, from college presidents, directors and coordinators, students, and our community partners. I also hope you become convinced that, even as we celebrate the legacy of the Bonners and all those who came before us, those of who are here today have a lot more history still to make. I look forward to joining you in that task. Robert Hackett President

Welcome from the Davidson College SLI 2015 Planning Team! On behalf of the Davidson College community, welcome to our home! We are privileged to host SLI 2015 and, at the same time, celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Bonner Foundation! Our hope is that you are able to feel our warmth and enthusiasm about your presence here. This year’s theme of “25 years of ________” inspired us to think of a few words that resonate when we think about Bonner’s presence in our lives:
Service Be(love)d Community Commitment
Justice Fun
Reflection
Over the next several days, we will likely explore these words and many more together. In signature sessions, workshops, social events and informal conversations ideas will grow and bloom. Please take the opportunities to form or build upon relationships and to celebrate our common commitments. We can’t wait to know you better! The foundation that has been laid for us by Bonner over the last 25 years is a strong one. As we each return to life on our individual campuses we hope that each person feels encouraged and equipped to take our commitments to the next level. To 25(+) more years of Bonner Love! Let the celebration begin! Davidson SLI Planning Team June, 2015

On behalf of Davidson College, I welcome you to the 2015 Bonner Summer Leadership Institute. We are especially excited to serve as host as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Bonner Foundation. Davidson and the Bonner Scholars Program have been partners for 24 years, and our relationship speaks to Davidson’s primary purpose: “to assist students in developing humane instincts and disciplined and creative minds for lives of leadership and service.” For nearly a quarter of a century, the Bonner Program has enabled students at Davidson and at many other institutions to grow in their commitment to serving others as they expand their knowledge. Currently 90% of our students participate in some form of civic engagement, often partnering on the Bonner model with organizations to foster mutual learning and dramatic community impact. Bonner Scholars lead service efforts, coordinate campus organizations in collaboration with local not-for-profits, tutor at after-school programs, spend time with patients in hospice care, write grants, develop curriculum, lead tours for diplomats, and serve meals. Beyond that, they ask complex questions about our world and their role within it. They seek understanding. They build relationships. The focus on “25 years of ______” as a conference theme reminds me of where we’ve been, and the importance of honoring those who’ve helped us reach this day. Because of their efforts, we are able to engage in work that will enhance the vitality of our communities for years to come. I look forward to learning more about you as we celebrate Bonner together. While you’re here, please remember to take a moment to enjoy our beautiful campus and surrounding community, which continues to flourish thanks to the work of people like you. Thank you,
Dr. Carol E. Quillen President, Davidson College

Engaged, Experiential, Signature: New Directions for Higher Education Since its inception, the mission of American higher education has included serving the public (and republic), educating graduates for productive roles and contributions to society, and producing knowledge that could benefit communities, the economy, and our nation. Over the past few decades, the opportunities for connecting education and experience through service, service-learning, and civic engagement have been broadening and deepening, bolstered by emerging scholarship about its impact on student learning. Today, the notion of developmental, engaged, experiential education and its opportunities for real-world application is at the forefront of both individual campus visions and broader higher education efforts. For instance, the Association of American Colleges and Universities’ Liberal Education and America’s Promise new "signature work" concept, in which students apply their learning, could have major civic dimensions. In this session, diverse speakers from a few campuses and organizations will share aspects of their visions and strategy for higher education and the integration of experiential, civic work.
June 10 at 4:15 pm in Duke Family Performance Hall
Carol Geary Schneider, President of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), launched Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP).

Under her leadership, AAC&U has become widely recognized as both a voice and force for strengthening the quality of student learning in college for all students and especially those historically underserved in U.S. higher education. A graduate of Mount Holyoke College and Harvard University, Dr. Schneider also has received thirteen honorary degrees. She has received many awards on Higher Education and honored as one of Diverse Magazine’s “25 Leading Women in Higher Education.”
Lily D. McNair, is the Provost at Wagner College. She sees her primary role as furthering the academic excellence that exists at Wagner.

Coupled with this strong academic base, every student graduating from Wagner should have deepened their commitment to contributing to their local, national and international communities in ways that enhance others’ lives. While at Wagner, Dr. McNair envisions every student having had opportunities through classes and co-curricular activities to contribute to the College, to the local community, to the greater metropolitan community, and to the international community. Prior to Wagner, Dr. McNair served as Associate Provost of Research and Divisional Coordinator for Science and Mathematics at Spelman College. Dr. McNair was the first African American woman to obtain tenure and promotion in the Department of Psychology at UGA in 1999.
Jake Schrum, 21st president of Emory & Henry College, looks forward to applying his energies to the advancement of an institution that he believes is poised for strong growth, thanks largely to the College’s national reputation for service learning and the strength of its liberal arts heritage. After starting out as a fundraiser at Yale University, Jake B. Schrum led advancement operations at Muhlenberg College, Texas Wesleyan University, Southwestern University and Emory University. He was president of Texas Wesleyan University for nine years before being named president of Southwestern University, where he served for thirteen years.

Building Capacity and Solutions through Research and Scholarship Community-based research (CBR) is a form of community outreach that engages students and faculty in academic work that addresses expressed interests of community partners for information and knowledge. It allows for students to be engaged in valuable learning while applying that learning to build the capacity of an organization and community. As a form of service and public scholarship, CBR represents one of the ways that institutions of higher education can contribute to the health, capacity, and sustainability of communities. The products of such research often include needs assessments, program evaluations, policy papers, program model research, and more issue-specific projects such as testing water quality, poverty assessments, and analysis of food deserts and nutrition. Over the past 25 years, individuals in the Bonner Network — including faculty, community partners, students, and other practitioners — have been at the forefront with community-based research in higher education.

Vision 2025 and Beyond: What’s Next for Bonner, Campus and Community Engagement In 1990, when the Bonner Program began, the infrastructure for community engagement on college campuses was much weaker than it is today. Beginning twenty-five years ago, a select group of colleges and universities committed to creating service-based scholarships and joining a network of schools that demonstrate commitment to “access to education and an opportunity to serve” for low-income students. The schools in the Bonner Network are committed to building sustained, reciprocal relationships with community partners. Students, faculty, and staff have worked to build and grow a campus culture that supports service and engagement, and to developing centers and infrastructure that maintains this work. Campuses have made great achievements in engaging and graduating students, contributing to communities, and growing campus-wide programs. What might community engagement and higher education look like five and ten years from now? What is our vision for the future? This session will feature representatives of four institutions sharing their vision for the next chapter of our work.

Student Affairs and Academic Affairs: Strategies for Building a Culture and Infrastructure for Engagement Within American institutions of higher education, Offices of Student and Academic Affairs have always and continue to play vital roles in educating students and preparing them to be lifelong citizens. Whether engagement happens in the classroom, residence halls, dining halls, schools, or non-profit contexts, it takes a whole campus to develop civic-minded individuals and healthier communities on and off campus. The Bonner Program has always embraced three intertwining goals: (1) student learning, development and leadership; (2) the importance of reciprocal community partnerships and sustained impact; and (3) building a campus-wide culture and infrastructure of “Everybody, Everyday.” This session will delve into the strategies that both Student Affairs and Academic Affairs from two institutions — Davidson College and Stetson University — have used in working in collaboration and with others across the institution to foster community engagement campus-wide.

Demonstrating Results: The Importance of Outcomes and Assessment Today’s centers for community and civic engagement are moving to claim, chart, and share the positive impact of engagement. Many campuses and centers are defining concrete student learning outcomes and how to assess them. Institutions are using a variety of approaches and tools to create comprehensive evaluation strategies that involve student surveys, authentic assessment, and the integration of developmental rubrics. Some have drawn on students’ work to articulate and refine these knowledge areas and competencies. A few institutions and centers are moving towards strategies to assess community impact. In this session, five campuses will share why this work matters and some of what they are learning to date. Additionally, the institutions will share some highlights of the diverse approaches they are using to do this work, which involve a variety of constituents including staff, faculty, partners, and students.

Learn more about artists around the globe who are doing powerful social justice activism through their artwork and how cross-body physical explorations has facilitated the brainstorming for those heartfelt projects. Then we'll explore the physiological reasons why tapping into our bodies can uncork creative blocks and give us fresh new ideas that reach other people on an emotional (rather than cognitive) level! Catherine J. Howard has melded a Bachelor's degree in Contemporary African Art History with intensive research in behavioral economics, anatomy, art-activism, yoga therapy, and community organizing to move toward a holistic understanding of how creative power works and what makes people tick.

Reverend Tommy Justus, Pastor of Mars Hill Baptist Church (partner with Mars Hill College), was born and raised in a rural mountain community of North Carolina. He received his bachelor’s at Appalachian State University, Masters at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Doctorate at Drew University. He has been married to Tanya, a kindergarten assistant, for 28 years. They have three grown children involved in education. In 1995, after a dozen years in student ministry, Tommy became the pastor of Mars Hill Baptist Church. Tommy’s interest as a pastor has two main focuses: 1) to help young people understand their own calling and live it out by developing direct opportunities to serve in their own community and in urban partnerships like Washington, D.C., Brooklyn, and Chicago; particularly in marginalized communities; 2) to help all of us learn to respond to needs of people around us related to food and housing. Mars Hill Baptist Church has worked with these issues both in town and around the world, specifically in Cuba, Brazil and Honduras.

Literature & Social Change: A Hands-on Workshop
Bring paper, pen, and a ball of string (yes, really). In this workshop, we will consider the literary artist’s role in society, as someone who participates in the culture by way of studio and public practices. What does writing do? What does art enact? We’ll look at what the ramifications of making art might be for the artist and for the various reading communities that engage the work—and thus, what a writer’s job might be. A hands-on workshop, this session will consider questions of social and political relevance, of ethics, of representation, of the avantgarde, and of the transgression.

Three years ago Warren Wilson College developed a ServiceLearning Fellows program for faculty and community partners based on the principle that both are co-educators, co-designers and collaborators of service-learning courses. This model proved to be both exciting and challenging and prompted us to consider how to design professional development opportunities that consider the strengths and needs of community partners as well as faculty. During this interactive session, presenters will share what we learned through three different Service-Learning Fellows models, highlight community partner perspectives of shared professional development opportunities, and engage participants in a resource sharing exercise.

Mandatory Service: The Great Debate!
Every four years, Davidson has a unique tradition: we host a mock debate between Phi and Eu halls. I would like to replicate this distinct Davidson tradition, but instead of a presidential debate, it would be a service and education related debate. The participants in the workshop will be split into two groups, and each group would be given the same topic: should service be a mandatory part of college education? The groups will have a set time to solidify their points, and then there would be a mock debate between the two halls. Before the workshop ends, we will debrief to talk about the positions represented. Morgan Mercer, Bonner Scholar, Davidson College

Re-Imagining Reflection: Digital Storytelling for Student Leadership Digital storytelling is an innovative reflection technique that challenges students to critically reflect, and organize their ideas and experiences resulting in deeper learning. Constructing a digital story inspires students to dig deeper into their subject, to think more complexly about it, and to communicate what they have learned in a more creative way. Learn what digital storytelling is (and is not) while discovering the powerful implications of this teaching strategy that facilitates the learning process in a whole new way. This session is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about digital storytelling as a pedagogical approach. Kristin Norris, Director of Assessment, IUPUI

Workshop Block One June 12 at 10:00 - 11:00 am Roots, Reflection, and Reciprocity: Relationship between Place and Reciprocity
Talk Poverty to Fight Poverty: How to Speak Powerfully on Big Issues
This workshop will be a structured dialogue around the topic of understanding "place" and its importance in cultivating reciprocity between your campus and community. Participants can share best practices they’ve used to understand the heritage and culture of the region/town their campus is located in and how this has aided in creating reciprocity and respect between their campus and community partners. At Carson-Newman University, our Appalachian heritage and region's history is tantamount to gaining the respect of community partners and local people alike. We will follow an educational model where participants will play both a teacher and a learner. We may not come out with clear answers, but at the very least, hope every participant would leave with a rich and challenging new thought or question. Chad Williams, Director of the Bonner Center, and Will Brummett, Student Development Coordinator, CarsonNewman University
What is advocacy, why do we do it, and HOW do we do it? Can we really change things? YES! We’ll talk about the landscape of advocacy, explore effective tools and tactics, learn about poverty in the United States, and develop a customizable “laser talk” - a short and compelling talk that can be used in a variety of scenarios, to motivate and educate an audience in less than two minutes. We’ll also learn how to put it all into practice, moving from passive bystanders to change makers. There will be plenty of opportunities to share, role play, and inspire. We have to talk poverty to fight poverty; creating the political will to end poverty. Tade Mengesha, U.S. Poverty Grassroots Organizer, RESULTS

Workshop Block Two June 12 at11:15 am - 12:15 pm A Glimpse of Justice and Hope in Memphis
Building Campus Community Through Constructive Conversation
The goal of our workshop is to invoke a sense of ownership over national issues of poverty and unequal public education, as seen through Memphis. Political, religious, and service perspectives all show that justice is something we should advocate. However, this is not common within the society at large. We will discuss how Memphis is on the front lines of this battle: a troubled past filled with racism has led to a present day system where education is unequal. Retention rates in justice work illustrate that the work is neither glamorous nor easy but nevertheless, essential for change. Retention rates illustrate that it is neither glamorous nor easy, but that should not deter us for striving for the betterment of individual lives.
Join us to learn about how Davidson College staff developed TedTuesday, a discussion group that brings together students, faculty and staff from across campus. The purpose of these gatherings is to build community through meaningful conversations in an inclusive space. In this session, you will build capacity around facilitating group discussion, establishing rapport and identifying productive partnerships. In learning about our successes and challenges, you will leave this session with an action plan to implement this model in a way that fits your campus culture.

City Year: The Education Crisis
Begin With the End in Mind: Student Development Approaches for Trainings
An overview of the crisis that is plaguing our education system, and hindering students from graduation. We will discuss factors such as class size, home stability, and brainstorm ways in which we can work to help more students graduate from high school. Participants should come prepared for an open discussion and dialogue, and be ready to participant in activities that require some movement.
We all know the importance of having clear learning and developmental outcomes when planning programs. But, how can we consolidate the many models, integrate them with our operations calendars, curriculum planning, and give students authority over their development? In this workshop, participants will learn about how students in Stetson University's Bonner Lead Team developed a consolidated outcomes map that identified the knowledge, skills, and abilities that every Bonner student should have at different times during their experience (from admittance to graduating). These outcomes maps serve as the starting point for planning all Bonner related programs and experiences.

Let's Reflect…What? So What? Now What? What is reflection and why is it a vital component to the Bonner experience? Ultimately, reflection builds the bridge between service AND learning. At the core of every Bonner Program, reflection is a necessity, one that gives context, induces introspection, brings up personal and structural issues, pushes us outside our comfort zone, leads to discovery of “outlets,” exposes many viewpoints, and encourages growth. Attendees will walk away with creative and tangible tools for reflection that can immediately be utilized to take the Bonner experience to the next level.

Workshop Block Two June 12 at11:15 am - 12:15 pm Ministry and Service: Intentional Partners
Social Justice and Public Space
Vocations in ministry and service are often viewed as divergent, and yet they often come from the same impulse - to live in the world with intentionality and compassion. Seminaries and Divinity Schools have much to offer in preparation for a vocation in the service sector - Theological Education isn't just for 'old guys in robes with their heads in the Bible.' Learn how Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary and other Seminaries that Change the World are developing intentional partnerships with non-profits and social service agencies for the education of their students and communities.
The work of critical social theorist Michel Foucault notes that there can be no justice if there is not a space in which that justice can be attained. This session will explore traditional and critical perspectives of public space, noting that public spaces are spaces of contestation, diversity, and ultimately, a more justly formed social polity. Using direct examples from ethnographic research conducted with individuals facing homelessness while living in a public park, this session will challenge participants to reconsider public spaces with which they commonly interact to re-envision a more democratic public sphere that encourages open political discourse and critical community interaction.

Hear from Bonner Leader, Donna Safar about her capacity-building research efforts and about further opportunities to engage in this fascinating, historically unique neighborhood.
Taking service and service learning programs abroad inherently brings additional logistics and risk management pieces to consider, which are necessary for the safety and well-being of your students and staff. In addition, colleges and universities have requirements and restrictions, as well as resources that may affect your program or course abroad. Bring your questions as we explore these issues and gain insight on how to address them to ensure a productive, meaningful and reciprocal experience for your students abroad.

Tools for Tracking Campus Wide Engagement In order to understand the depth and breadth of service students are completing, as well as the impact their work is having on the community, higher education institutions must create systems in order to track their student’s community engagement experiences. There are many tools available that help accomplish this, including software systems like My Service Log, OrgSync, and Noble Hour. Many institutions have adopted EPortfolios and Co-Curricular Transcripts, which have helped with this process. In this session, we will discuss the many different methods institutions can use to track community engagement and Stetson University will share the system that has worked for them.

Barricades and Flat Tires: Reframing Failure in Service and Service Learning
This session draws on the experience of an external evaluation conducted by the Bonner Center for Service and Learning at Oberlin College. John Saltmarsh, noted scholar, faculty member, and Director of the New England Center for Higher Education, will present effective strategies to move one’s center forward and propel change on tough issues. He will cover all aspects of this process, from strategy and purpose, to the structuring of a site visit, to the kind of report produced, and using the report to effect change.
Despite our best efforts to plan and prepare for community service, working with living and breathing communities means the unexpected will always happen! Having a “successful” and meaningful service experience does not usually mean that all will naturally run smoothly. Rather, it is up to us to reframe how we understand those moments of “failure” so that we can learn from and respond to conflict that may arise. Join us as we discuss common dynamics of “failure” in service and explore ways we can utilize them for learning and growth.

Workshop Block Three June 12 at 4:15 - 5:15 pm Philosophy of Punishment: The Age of MassIncarceration
The Next Decade of BWBRS: Co-creating a Strategic Roadmap
The U.S. has the most prisoners of any developed country in the world. Already a platform issue in the next presidential election, policymakers are discussing sentencing reform and asking why the U.S. incarcerates so many. Understanding punishment is the starting point for an informed discussion on mass-incarceration and has great implications for society. This workshop will introduce attendees to basic philosophies of punishment, while examining examples of how punishment is implemented in today's criminal justice system. Topics of discussion will include the death-penalty and mandatory minimum sentencing for drug laws. *None of the information presented during this workshop reflect the views of the South Carolina Judicial Department; however, Becky Depp has been passionate about these issues since her exposure to them as an attorney working in state appellate law.
BWBRS is a key tool designed to support our student learning and manage key administrative components of the Bonner program. Come to this session to learn about the results of the BWBRS survey, to hear about the BWBRS roadmap over next several years, and to give your input on strategic changes to the BWBRS platform that will aide staff in managing their respective programs.
