The International Service-Learning Summit is a two-day meeting that engages participants in purposeful dialogue about the field of global, immersive service. This year’s theme, “Global Community Partnerships” will be explored through a deliberate look at effective practice and community outcomes and perspectives. The Summit takes place March 4-6, 2015, at Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina.
