Over the last seven years, MSU has made steady progress in building the institutional capacity and infrastructure of its university-wide Service-Learning program. In 1996, the first year MSU was awarded CNS funds, the Service-Learning program consisted of two faculty teaching two courses. Since then, the MSU Service-Learning program has recruited and trained 16 service-learning faculty and formed partnerships with 36 community partners. Good progress has also been made in integrating service-learning into the University's administrative and academic systems. For example, a service-learning course definition and approval process was ratified by the University Senate, a Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Program (funded by the Leshowitz Endowment) was created to increase the quality of service-learning, and a Faculty Scholars Program was established to encourage and recognize faculty scholarship. Other processes and structures were implemented to ensure continuous program improvement. For example the MSU service-learning program has: developed of an extensive database to track student service; authored and disseminated a supervisor's service-learning handbook; developed a website to promote awareness of program achievements; performed numerous program evaluations; and created the Center for Community-Based Learning to promote and coordinate community-university engagement.
