The Challenges of Leading an Office of Community Service,
Service-Learning, Civic Engagement, Community Partnerships, or Public Service
December 3, 2007
Leading an office that supports campus/community engagement has many challenges.
Some confront every one of us; some are particular to our locations in our
particular institutions. Our challenges include:
- Working without enough resources.
- Working without the support of key players on the campus.
- Trying to balance day-to-day work and long-range planning and
development, or trying to balance program management and being a
catalyst for change on the campus.
- Either managing staff (which involves a whole set of skills we may not
have been trained for) or managing an office without any staff (which
involves doing everything!).
- Being located on one side of the student affairs/academic affairs divide,
and needing to connect to the other side.
- Trying to balance attention to the campus and attention to the community.
- Managing conflict.
- Having roles that require us to devote substantial time to activities
that are not central to the work of community engagement.
- And probably many others.
This Think Tank session will explore the challenges you face, and
will use the participants as a consulting group to identify
strategies to deal with the most critical challenges.
