The 2019 Service Learning Showcase will be held during Research Week on Friday, April 12 starting at 9 am. UIW community members, that is faculty, students, and staff are invited to share podium presentations or posters submissions that demonstrate service learning and scholarship of engagement. We seek best practices, examples, theories, scholarship, and grant writing skills related to all aspects of service learning.

Service Learning at UIW includes community service which a) is required in the class or the program, b) is completed to better understand course or program content, c) reflects concern for the well-being of the community, and d) helps students to reflect, find meaning in their lives, and keep engaged to be good citizens in the future.  

To see examples of Showcase presentations for the last two years, see 2017 http://www.uiw.edu/eccl/documents/bookletserviceleraningshowcase.pdf  and 2018  http://www.uiw.edu/eccl/documents/showcase_eighteen.pdf

Each individual listed as author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for their contributions to the content (Clever, et al., 1997). More specifically, authorship should be credited to the individuals who contributed in all three areas of

• Conception and design of the project or analysis and interpretation of data
• Drafting the presentation or making critical revisions for significant intellectual content
• Approval of final version to be presented.

All three of the criteria should be met in order for an individual to be listed as an author. Individuals who contribute solely to general supervision, funding, or collecting data do not sufficiently satisfy the criteria for authorship (Clever, et al., 1997).

Contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in the acknowledgments of the final presentation. Including an author who has not contributed significantly to the work is considered a breach of appropriate authorship.
