WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN’T: Wesleyan’s Center for Community Partnerships hosted a Conference for Service-Learning titled “What Works and What Doesn’t” May 25-26. Staff members from Amherst, Bowdoin, Byrn Mawr, Connecticut College, Smith, Swarthmore, Trinity, University of Pennsylvania, Williams and Wesleyan convened to assess service-learning’s impact on students, administration and community partners.

The event was arranged by Professor of Sociology and Director of the Service-Learning Center Rob Rosenthal, pictured back left.
