Brief Biography:
As Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, I have worked on strategic planning for the Steans Center for Community-based Service Learning since its inception in 1998 and supervised its leadership. As a faculty member, I have taught service learning classes for the past ten years. I have written and published on the institutionalization of community engagement activities in higher education and have researched and published several articles on service learning and students' moral development. Currently I am collaborating with Student Affairs in bridging the curricular and co-curricular forms of community engagement at DePaul University.
