Join Beth Blissman, representative to the United Nations at Loretto Community, on Thursday Oct. 25 from 12:45 to 2 p.m. in Room 138 of the Commerce & Finance Building and discuss how the University can more effectively engage our community and incorporate research in our practice of service learning.<\/p>\n
Blissman brings more than 20 years of experience as a practitioner and scholar in community-engaged teaching and learning in higher education to this work, as well as a deep interest in permaculture, spirituality and shifting worldviews. She is a former director of both the Bonner Center for Service & Learning at Oberlin College and the University of Denver\u2019s Service Learning Program. She has developed models for student leadership, created community service work-study programs and supported a variety of faculty and curriculum development processes related to community-campus engagement. She is curious about how to build connections, increase resilience and design better solutions that empower learning and creative thinking.<\/p>\n
