Tulane University’s Center for Public Service and the International Association for Research on Service-learning and Community Engagement is proud to invite you to the Eighth International Research Conference on Service-learning and Community Engagement.  The 2008 conference will be held October 25th to 28th at the Marriott Hotel at the Convention Center in New Orleans, LA.

The theme of the conference is The Scholarship of Engagement: Dimensions of Reciprocal Partnerships.  Campus-community collaborations can take many forms and provide academic, social, civic, and economic benefits to a broad range of individuals and organizations. Reciprocity creates and sustains equitable partnerships that foster the mission, goals, and objectives of each constituent.  This conference will explore the variety of partnerships that flourish in educational institutions and their communities through service-learning courses, community-based research projects, and student-led multi-curricular activities.  The contributions of a variety of research approaches in building and sustaining such partnerships will be emphasized.  The conference brings together scholars and practitioners to discuss research topics in the study of service-learning and community engagement.
