The Bristol Community
College's
(BCC) Civic Engagement Program is designed to enhance student learning
through the integration of academic learning in courses or through
participation in community service, while encouraging civic engagement,
social responsibility, development of workforces and community leadership
skills and the ability to reflect on the connection between civic
engagement and academic achievement. The College held an Experiential
Education Recognition Breakfast on May 20th in the Commonwealth Center to
recognize students, faculty and worksites for their participation in
Cooperative Education through internships in community settings as well as
students, faculty and their community partners for their participation in
Civic Engagement through unpaid service in community settings. Zainab
Abbas participated in an internship program with Partners for a Healthier
Community and worked with Dr. Weed and other members of the team over the
second semester. Director of Civic Engagement Dr. Mary Zahm acknowledged
the students following remarks by host Jim Mathes, President John Sbrega,
Dean of Teaching and Learning Suzanne Buglione, Ed.D., UMass-Boston
Professor Dwight Giles, Ph.D, and Director of Cooperative Education Nicole
Heaney. A meeting of the Advisory Board followed the Recognition Breakfast.
