    Civic-Minded Career Readiness Competencies.
    (2020-01-15) Brown, Lorrie A.; Studer, Morgan L.
    Higher education is increasingly being called to not only ensure that students are prepared to enter the labor market but also that they are prepared to thrive and contribute to society within and beyond their specific field. A focus on civic-mindedness in career development adds value to career readiness creating a more well-rounded graduate for a global workforce that is increasingly calling for employees to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions that include working with diverse others, communicating across difference, and valuing the contributions they can make towards the public good. Drawing on the Civic-Minded Graduate framework and NACE’s top eight Career Readiness Competencies, we have reframed the language of the career readiness competencies to help career development professionals intentionally design for the integration of civic learning and career readiness.

    Perceptions of Community partners regarding the Sam H. Jones Community Service Scholarship Program
    (2015-09-01) Hahn, Thomas W.; Brown, Lorrie A.; Peters, Adam J.
    The purpose of this evaluation was to understand perceptions of community partners who have partnered with the Center for Service and Learning (CSL) to host Sam H. Jones (SHJ) Community Service Scholarship recipients. Community partners were asked to voluntarily participate in an interview at the end of the Spring 2015 semester to learn more about their experiences with the Scholars and suggestions for program improvement. Their responses were de-identified and analyzed. This report shares overall findings from these interviews and provides general recommendations to improve the experience for both the student and the community partners.
