AAC&U invites faculty and other campus leaders -- as individuals and as teams -- to submit proposals for the Shaping Faculty Roles in a Time of Change conference. What is at stake for the future of undergraduate education and its faculty in a time of increased splintering of roles, contingency of status, and workload demand? What changes are occurring in the academic workforce; what are the forces behind these changes; and what are values, core knowledge, and common practices that comprise the work of the faculty regardless of employment status (contingent, tenure track, or tenured)? We hope this conference will help shape the priorities and even the definition of the 21st century faculty, with a particular focus on undergraduate education. The goal is to better understand changes in teaching, learning, research, service, and shared governance and to learn from the most promising practices that allow faculty to strike a balance across multiple roles and responsibilities. Graduate students, early career faculty, and later career faculty, both part time and full time, are urged to join with other campus leaders in articulating a new and more inclusive vision of the faculty that connects individuals across a range of institutions and professional situations. Proposals are due September 10, 2008. Access the Call for Proposals here. 2nd Annual Fostering Global Citizenship Conference November 10-11, 2008, Burlington, VT Call for Proposals NEW!

The goal of this special issue is to provide IJOA readers, as well as service-learning authors and practitioners, with an overview of the application and outcomes of service-learning as a teaching tool in today’s rapidly changing environment. This special issue will explore the strengths and challenges of service-learning practice in the context of our unscripted future – with a specific focus on the interrelationships between technological advances, global access and interest, and community engagement. Topics will include not only how service-learning is being applied as a tool to explore and understand complex environments but also why service-learning is being used in terms of leveraging educational opportunities into desired outcomes for students, universities, and community members. Our goal is to expand the current literature in directions that reflect today’s global, diverse, interconnected, and uncertain organizational environments.
Submissions are encouraged from: · Organizational researchers and practitioners from across the disciplines who are actively engaged in cutting edge service-learning applications with a focus on new technological and/or international applications – encompassing both stand-alone programs and those involving partners from different global locations. · Practitioners who work in non-traditional organizational disciplines and from those who are using advanced technological applications to heighten the quality of service-learning programs.
