The Black Hawk College current grant-funded Theatre Outreach Program to Schools, co-sponsored by the Illinois Campus Compact for Community Service, the BHC Creative Arts Department, the Office of the President, and the BHC Foundation has accomplished the following: Over 160, 22-page Study Guides, on the play HEDDA GABLER, a modern Social Drama, were sent to area Junior and Senior High schools. Selected students from Moline High School and United Township High School, were given a special performance the BHC-HEDDA GABLER production, involved in lunch and a lunch-time discussion of the play, then they were involved in conflict-resolution workshops over a one-week period, using the play as spring-board for exercises and discussions. Extensive surveys were conducted with all participants (including Service-Learning students from BHC) to measure the value of the play and workshops, and the high school students have each sent Appraisal Letters, applying criteria that was taught in the workshops. The number of Selected Students from those two high schools was 120 total.

Much of my work in service-learning and community engagement has come as a result of the many excellent resources and materials generated by Campus Compact. When I first became the Founding Director of CSUSB's CUP [Community-University Partnership Institute], I relied almost exclusively on the resources of Campus Compact in designing, planning, and implementing our actions.
