The University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth Center for Civic Engagement invited community leaders and faculty to gather on November 2, 2012, at the Woodland Commons for a chance to get to know one another in a two-hour "speed-dating" style format. Assistant Provost Matthew Roy welcomed about fifty participants and explained that each would have about three minutes to introduce themselves and to briefly describe opportunities for service-learning students to become involved in community settings such as social service agencies, schools and government organizations.
