The 2020 Service Learning Showcase will be held during Research Week on Monday, March 30 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 engaged scholarship. 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 three years, see the Faculty Service Learning Showcase.

To learn more, see the service and service learning guidelines.

1. Presentations may take the following forms:
   1. Podium presentations for 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions
   2. Poster presentations showing service learning experiences
2. The body text (not to include contact information) of any submission must not exceed 500 words.
3. Submissions must be made via Submittable on the provided online form.
4. All relevant sections must be completed. Incomplete submissions will not be accepted.
5. Provide the complete title of your work as you wish it to appear in the Proceedings.
6. List authors in the order in which you wish them to appear in the Proceedings.
7. Please check all text for errors before submitting.

8. Submissions are selected by faculty committee.

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

1. Conception and design of the project or analysis and interpretation of data
2. Drafting the presentation or making critical revisions for significant intellectual content
3. 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 acknowledgements of the final presentation. Including an author who has not contributed significantly to the work is considered a breach of appropriate authorship.
