See also the Kapio'lani Community College website for an example of an improving campus-based service-learning program.
Currently Dr. Franco is working with Campus Compact staff to research the following issues specific to community colleges.
How can service-learning and civic engagement support:
- retention and academic success for developmental, pre-college students
- improved workforce and community development outcomes
- improved retention and academic success for New Americans
- closing the minority achievement gap in undergraduate education
Training and technical assistance is focused on the community colleges but clearly resonates with challenges faced at diverse higher education institutions.
