The American Democracy Project/The Redbird Outreach Program (PowerPoint)
Students in Dr. Dale Fitzgibbons’ Teams and Team-Building course (MQM 380) have collaborated with Professor Mary Campbell’s graduate class in Social Work (SWK 410) to build a web-based database of critical projects that social service agencies and non-profit organizations in McLean County need accomplished. Once complete, the database will be available to ISU faculty who are interested in using community service projects in their courses, allowing them to identify organizations with discipline-specific projects that need assistance. This is a multi-semester effort that we expect to be fully operational by Fall, 2007. The tool should prove invaluable in promoting and facilitating the American Democracy Project at Illinois State University and assisting with the university’s commitment to community outreach.
