The University of San Francisco recently elevated its Service-Learning Task Force to a Service-Learning Committee. Much of the year involved the transition from a task force to a committee, developing new policies and procedures, etc. The SLC hoped to continue with Faculty Incentive Grants. The committee applied for funding and is waiting for a reply. The SLC also continued with faculty development workshops, sponsoring a teleconference and a panel discussion on Challenges in Developing Service-Learning Placements. USF is in the process of revising its General Education Curriculum. Representatives of the SLC are on the committee establishing procedures for proceeding with the revision and hope to incorporate a service-learning component in the revised GEC. USF continues to update and expand its Service-Learning website, as well as its community service database.
