Universities increasingly are embracing service-learning as a model to integrate community service with learning and research. If service-learning is considered a social movement or social reform affecting higher education, a number of pertinent questions must be addressed so that service-learning can be rooted in the fabric of higher education. This symposium encourages participants to explore a wide range of issues related to research, curriculum design, assessment, institutional support, community connections and partnerships, and student development, with the goal of providing participants with perspective on critical issues, paradigms, and challenges in service-learning in higher education.

It has been the training I received through Maine Campus Compact in both problem-based service-learning and civic engagement that has helped me become a passionate and effective advocate for tearing down the doors between campus and community."
