Share this Story(Aug. 30, 2012) -- Community partners representing 35 San Antonio community agencies gathered Aug. 14 at Café College to learn about the new service-learning programs coordinated through the UTSA Inclusion and Community Engagement Center. Participating agencies included Communities in Schools, ArtPace, San Antonio Parks and Recreation, Catholic Charities and Meals on Wheels, to name a few.
The event introduced community agency partners to UTSA service-learning staff members, who shared the short- and long-term plans for service-learning. Additionally, they discussed how community agencies can share their projects and needs with the UTSA community.
"The enthusiasm of our community agency partners is inspiring and encouraging," said Jennifer Rames, UTSA associate director of service-learning. "Community partners are educators and valued members of the service-learning team. They have needs that present opportunities for our students to gain real-world experience and for our faculty to discover new venues for teaching and opportunities for research."
