Primary Appointment: Chancellor's Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Philanthropic Studies; Senior Scholar, IUPUI Center for Service and Learning

Dr. Bringle's work as Executive Director of the IUPUI Center for Service and Learning from 1994-2012 resulted in an expansion of the number of service learning courses, a curriculum for faculty development, a Community Service Scholars program, an America Reads tutoring program, and a HUD Community Outreach Partnership Center. The IUPUI service learning program was ranked 8th best in the nation among all colleges and universities in 2002 and has been listed among the best programs each subsequent year. IUPUI received a Presidential Award in 2006 as part of the first President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. His scholarly interests for service learning, community service, and civic engagement include student and faculty attitudes and motives, educational outcomes, institutionalization, and assessment and measurement issues.

    Analyzing Morton's Typology of Service Paradigms and Integrity
    (2006) Bringle, Robert G.; Hatcher, Julie A.; McIntosh, Rachel E.
    Research on college students found limited support for Morton’s (1995) hypothesis that students have a preference for one distinct type of service orientation (i.e., charity, project, social change). The findings did replicate previous findings that college students prefer the charity paradigm. A measure of integrity was developed and two dimensions were identified that possessed distinct correlates. As Morton predicted, as the degree of integrity increased the preference for a distinct type of service became blurred, suggesting that developing integrity should be an intentional educational goal and it might be aided by exposing students to all three approaches to community service. Implications for service-learning educators are discussed.

    Campus–Community Partnerships: The Terms of Engagement
    (2002-01-01) Bringle, Robert G.; Hatcher, Julie A.
    The emergence of service–learning in higher education and the renewed emphasis on community involvement presents colleges and universities with opportunities to develop campus–community partnerships for the common good. These partnerships can leverage both campus and community resources to address critical issues in local communities. Campus–community partnerships are a series of interpersonal relationships between (a) campus administrators, faculty, staff, and students and (b) community leaders, agency personnel, and members of communities. The phases of relationships (i.e., initiation, development, maintenance, dissolution) and the dynamics of relationships (i.e., exchanges, equity, distribution of power) are explored to provide service–learning instructors and campus personnel with a clearer understanding of how to develop healthy campus–community partnerships.

    Center For Service and Learning Research Collaborative
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2010-04-09) Bringle, Robert G.; Hatcher, Julie A.; Steinberg, Kathy
    The Center for Service and Learning Research Collaborative has achieved its mission to (a) increasing the capacity of IUPUI faculty to engage in research on service learning; (b) convening internal and external service learning scholars to develop new conceptual frameworks and methodological tools (e.g., Civic-Minded Graduates and Professionals) to improve the quality of service learning research; and (c) disseminating high quality scholarship through IUPUI Series on Service Learning Research (Stylus Publishing), publishing research resources (e.g., scales, Research Primer, Research Briefs), convening scholars for symposia and conferences, publications in peer-reviewed journals, and hosting the 10th Annual conference of the International Association for Research on Service Learning and Community Engagement in October, 2010.

    Civic-Minded Graduate: A North Star
    (2011) Steinberg, Kathryn S.; Hatcher, Julie A.; Bringle, Robert G.
    Because of increased interest in higher education regarding the civic learning outcomes for college students and graduates, identifying and measuring civic learning outcomes is important to evaluating the efficacy of civic engagement programs and teaching strategies (e.g., service-learning). A conceptual framework for the Civic-Minded Graduate (CMG) construct is presented as well as three measurement procedures (i.e., CMG Scale, CMG Narrative Prompt and Rubric, CMG Interview Protocol and Rubric) that evaluate the construct. Results from three studies provide evidence of the psychometric properties of each measurement procedure and converging evidence to support the meaningfulness of the CMG construct. Implications of adopting the CMG as a “north star” for future research and practice are presented.

    Conceptualizing Civic Engagement: Orchestrating Change at a Metropolitan University
    (2007) Bringle, Robert G.; Hatcher, Julie A.; Holland, Barbara
    Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) has undertaken numerous initiatives over the past fifteen years that have contributed to the development, clarification, and increased understanding of civic engagement and its related components. This case study demonstrates how advancing the public purposes of higher education requires the commitment, persistence, vision, and good judgment of many, but in particular the Chief Academic Officer, who assumes pivotal responsibility for civic engagement as a fundamental aspect of faculty work and student learning.
