The foundation announced Dec. 18 that Stetson was one of 119 colleges and universities selected for the 2008 classification, joining 76 institutions identified in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The distinction is external validation from a prestigious source that recognizes community engagement is central to the life of Stetson University, said Dr. D. Gregory Sapp, Stetson&#8217;s Hal S. Marchman Chair of Civic and Social Responsibility and associate professor of Religious Studies. Fewer than 5 percent of nonprofit, four year institutions of higher education in the United States carry the designation.<\/p>\n<p>The independent accreditation is part of a burgeoning standardized classification. The designation &#8220;allows someone considering Stetson to know it&#8217;s a place where community engagement is part of who we are, that it&#8217;s part of our character,&#8221; Sapp said.<\/p>\n<p>Stetson students and faculty on the DeLand and Gulfport campuses provided more than 54,000 hours of service during the 2007-2008 academic year. That number represents both academic service learning hours and nonacademic volunteer hours. More than $19 million of the university&#8217;s $125 million endowment directly supports community engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of academic service learning programs at Stetson include Bonner Community Engagement, a 60-student service-oriented program; Community-Based Research; La Plaza Comunitaria community center in Pierson; and the CHOMI microcredit program in DeLand and Tanzania. Examples of volunteerism include CAUSE (Campaign for Adolescent and University Student Empowerment); the Greenfeather campuswide fundraiser for local nonprofit groups; and pro bono work at the College of Law.<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial\"\/><\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stetson University awarded 2008 Community Engagement Classification by the Carnegie Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[721,722],"class_list":["post-336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-1","tag-carnegie","tag-recognition"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
