History

The IARSLCE grew out of the Annual International K-H Service-Learning Research Conference, which began as an idea championed by Shelley H. Billig, Ph.D. of RMC Research Corporation and Andrew Furco, Ph.D. of the University of California Berkeley. They obtained seed funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which was managed by Dr. Billig at RMC Research Corporation, and helped to support the first five years of the annual research conference. At the time of the first conference in Berkeley, CA in 2001, there were no other comparable meetings that highlighted research on service-learning and facilitated information exchange and dialogue among scholars, practitioners, funders, and students interested in research on service-learning.
