RFK Children’s Action Corps is seeking our help to
refer students into their Evaluation Period, which is full time work throughout the coming summer at RFK’s residential treatment center in Lancaster. The Evaluation Period provides students with experience and an opportunity to decide, if they wish, to formally apply for the Fellows Program beginning in Fall 2012. The Fellows Program is a credited, year-long social services internship. RFK will accept up to four students for the summer and two students for the Fellows Program.
For information, contact Dave Tivnan at 617-438-7154 or

| | | | | Civic Engagement Conversation | Please join The Center for Teaching and Learning and the Center for Service Learning and Civic Engagement on May 16th, from 2:00 - 4:15, in Sullivan 122 for a discussion with Corey Dolgon (Stonehill College), John Reiff (UMass Amherst) Lisa Wark (WSU) and Suzanne Bugilone (WSU). Some framing questions for discussion include:
- If the university community as a whole took civic engagement seriously, what concrete changes would you expect/want to see in five years at Worcester State University?
- What -- if any -- are the barriers to civic engagement that would have to be overcome?
- What are the resources already in the university community that could be drawn upon?
- What would be the first steps that could be taken in the coming year, and who would have to take them?
