Montclair State University - NJ, New Jersey
President: Susan A. Cole
Academic departments have been described as glass silos: faculty from different departments may see each other, but they don t interact. At Montclair State University, in New Jersey, faculty from different departments come together around service-learning. Teams of three to five faculty members from different disciplines teaching on the same theme or with the same community site come together to discuss the different approaches their classes take, share syllabi, and advise one another.
Louisiana Campus Compact allows us to institutionalize our efforts more effectively around student development and community service, while interacting with other institutions of higher education across the state and throughout the nation.
-Randall Webb, President, Northwestern State University
