For faculty who have an initial interest in community engagement, the most important thing a campus can do is provide the information they need to act on that interest. Pima County Community College in Arizona has found that they are most successful at developing faculty interest when they offer optional workshops accompanied by a small stipend for faculty who attend. At the workshops, faculty hear from their peers about strategies for integrating service-learning into classes and for revamping course syllabi to incorporate work with the community. Participants are then able to use their stipend to assist them in developing a service-learning course.
