Brief Biography:
Richard Schramm has taught since 1965 in Schools of Business, Planning, and Policy at Columbia, Cornell, Tufts, MIT and the University of Vermont. At UVM he was a Senior Faculty Associate in the Office of Community-University Partnerships and Service-Learning, the facilitator for several years of the Faculty Fellows Service Learning Program, and a teacher of a variety of service-learning courses in economics and community development. He is a Northern New England Campus Compact Service-Learning Consultant.  Schramm has devoted much of his academic career to building links between universities and community, governmental and business organizations. He founded the Tufts University Management and Community Development Institute in 1984 and the Goddard College Business Institute in 1994 to link academic institutions to community development and business practitioners. He co-directed the University of Vermont/Burlington Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC), 1999-2003. His publications on university-community partnerships include Building Higher Education Community Development Corporation Partnerships (1999, with Nancy Nye) and Lasting Engagement: Building and Sustaining a Commitment to Community Outreach, Development, and Collaboration — A Case Study of Springfield College (2002). Schramm's teaching, whenever possible, builds service-learning directly into existing university-community partnerships as described in 'Integrating Economics Research, Education, and Service' (Journal of Economic Education, Winter 2007, with Nancy Brooks).
