Arachnophobia Impact Community

Milliken University - IL, Illinois

As part of a service learning project students from an Animal Behavior course, an education course, and a non-major biology course developed a program for fourth graders about spiders. All the Milliken students participated in workshops to develop presentations for the school children, but the service represented varying fractions of the students overall grade.

I consider Campus Compact to be one of the most enlightened and farsighted ventures that American colleges and universities have undertaken.... It provides evidence that there are, in the world of higher education, people more than willing to pitch in, people of vision and commitment."

-John Gardner, former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare
