The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) is recruiting Work Study students for the Fall 2008 semester.

The CCE will work with successful candidates to arrange a schedule that fits their needs and interests. The CCE will work with students to ensure that this opportunity meets the Federal Work Study requirements.

Citizen Scholar Certificate, transcript designation; Task Force Members Needed
Now that we have a good sense of the breadth and depth of the citizen scholar program on our campus, we are exploring the possibility of developing a Citizen Scholar Certificate Program (that would include a transcript designation, recognition at Commencement, recognition on diploma). We have researched other civic engagement Minor and Certificate programs across the country and have compiled a binder with sample programs and best practices. We are preparing a memo summarizing the features/best practices of these programs to discuss at our initial strategy session. We are looking for faculty to serve on a Task Force to assist us in developing this program/certificate/transcript designation. If you are interested helping us design this program, please e-mail Dr. Judithanne Scourfield McLauchlan at jsm2@stpt.usf.edu
DRAFT of the CCE's "Citizen Scholar Course Catalogue."
This represents a listing of the courses we found (primarily by reviewing course syllabi) that included a civic engagement component, from Fall 2003 through Spring 2008. Please review this Catalogue (it is arranged in alphabetical order by College, then by discipline) and send us corrections/additions
*Are we missing any courses?
*In the courses we do include, are the civic engagement components correctly described?
*Can you help us fill in any missing information (e.g., number of hours students spent working on the assignment)?
*Is there any other information about these courses you can provide (e.g., Is this a required course for majors? Is this an exit course? How often is this course offered?) that would be helpful for us as we develop our citizen scholar program (including possible transcript designation) and for our students who may be interested in taking your courses
Please provide feedback/edits/missing information via e-mail --civicengage@stpt.usf.edu - and put "Course Catalogue Edits" in the subject header. Thanks, in advance, for your assistance!
If at all possible, we would greatly appreciate receiving your edits by May 28th.
