California Campus Compact & Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Select Faculty for Political Engagement Effort

California Campus Compact and The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching have announced 25 professors to lead the way in preparing college students for participation in political life. The professors, from public and private colleges and universities across California, will be Faculty Fellows in the Service Learning for Political Engagement Program. Each will be responsible for creating, implementing and evaluating courses that use service learning to increase students' understanding, skills and motivation for political participation. Service learning places students in meaningful service to the community and requires reflection on that service, leading to increased learning about academic subject matter, the community and one's self.

With funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service (Learn and Serve America Higher Education), faculty were chosen for their experience connecting teaching and learning to service in the community and their commitment to developing models of service learning that prepare young people for political engagement. They represent a diverse array of academic disciplines, from engineering to political science, from English to agriculture.

Faculty members will come together for the first time this summer for a three-day institute at the Carnegie Foundation, where they will begin planning their new courses. They will continue to meet over the next two years to refine their course models, examine student outcomes and share their work with colleagues on campus and across the state and nation.

The 25 faculty members chosen by California Campus Compact and the Carnegie Foundation are listed in the complete press release, available at http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/news/sub.asp?key=51&subkey=2361

Corporate Foundations Gave a Record $4.2 Billion in 2006, Report Finds

Charitable giving by corporate foundations rose to an estimated $4.2 billion in 2006, and a majority of the foundations surveyed project continued growth in 2007, a new summary report issued by the Foundation Center finds. According to Key Facts on Corporate Foundations, grantmaking by nearly 2,600 corporate foundations increased by an estimated 6 percent in 2006 and accounted for 11 percent of all foundation giving. The increase is remarkable, as it follows an exceptional year in 2005 in which corporate foundation giving reflected strong corporate profits and giving in response to the Gulf Coast hurricanes and South Asian tsunami.

In terms of funding priorities, corporate foundations targeted nearly half of their giving to education (25 percent) or public affairs/social benefit (22 percent) -- which includes support for community development, federated funds and other philanthropy, public affairs, and civil rights. Moreover, 57 percent of the corporate foundations surveyed expect to increase their giving in 2007, surpassing the share that anticipated higher levels of giving last year.

In a separate development, a handful of pharmaceutical manufacturers continued to ramp up their giving through operating foundations, which are counted separately from corporate foundations. Support from these and other corporate-sponsored operating foundations totaled nearly $3.2 billion in 2005, with most of that giving coming from in-kind donations of medications to patients in need. In fact, four of these pharmaceutical foundations ranked among the top ten U.S. foundations by giving. According to Lawrence, beginning in the late 1990s many pharmaceutical companies set up operating foundations to distribute medications, and at current rates in-kind giving through corporate operating foundations may soon match standard corporate foundation giving.

10^th ANNIVERSARY NEWS

COMPELLING PERSONAL EXPERIENCES: THE TRUE BASIS FOR SERVICE-LEARNING

By CCPH member David G. Brown, Associate Dean and Director of Postgraduate and Graduate Dental Education, University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry

Editor’s Note: As part of our 10^th Anniversary Celebration, CCPH put out a call for “stories of impact” that capture how CCPH has had an impact on you, your partnership, and/or the field as a whole. (See:

http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/PM_020907.htm#Anniv). Thanks to all who responded! Some of your stories were incorporated into the report, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health: Celebrating a Decade of Impact (See http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/PM_042707_new.html#Anniv). Others are being shared through the CCPH website and Partnership Matters newsletter. Do you have a story to tell?

Email it to ccphuw@u.washington.edu

A tear rolled down her cheek as a volunteer dentist began to remove the rotted teeth from her mouth. She needed all her teeth “pulled” due to a lack of good oral hygiene and a past history of drug abuse. As the dentist turned to reach for a different instrument, I asked the women if perhaps she needed more anesthesia, so she would not feel any pain. She quickly replied “No”, and then told me the tears were not tears of pain but rather tears of joy to finally be rid of the pain, suffering and trouble her teeth had caused her for most of her life. She was just one of many needy patients in a large make-shift dental clinic during the first Nebraska Mission of Mercy (NMOM) in 2005.

Fifty portable dental chairs were temporarily stationed in a local community event center staffed by more than 400 volunteers. Approximately 75 dentists, 63 dental assistants, 31 hygienists, 50 office staff, and well over 200 non-dental community volunteers dedicated two days of their time to make the event possible. Dental school alumni, faculty members, and students all helped in making the NMOM possible. In addition, it took a small army of staff and a semi-trailer load of loaned dental equipment from a neighboring state to turn the event center into an organized high-volume dental clinic.

When the doors opened at 5:30 a.m. on Friday morning, patients walked into a transformed dental facility equipped with numerous dental work stations, an area for sterilization, curtained areas for oral surgery and children’s dentistry. A staffed child care center provided complimentary baby-sitting services for parents receiving dental care. Free food was provided for the patients their families and the volunteers.

On Saturday, more patients came to the clinic for needed dental care. Many had compelling stories about their need for dental care. The first NMOM event treated over 900 patients resulting in an estimated $356,750 in free dental care.

As a result of the first NMOM, the local Health Department successfully applied for a federal grant to open a public health dental clinic. The clinic is currently open and is staffed part-time by local dentists and the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry (UNMC) faculty. Plans are underway to incorporate the clinic as a service learning site for UNMC dental and dental hygiene students and to ultimately operate the clinic on a full-time basis.

Compelling personal experiences are the true basis for service-learning and the reason why I am so pleased to be a part of Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH). As a public health professional, I appreciate the need that exists in many communities throughout the country. However, due to the complexity and magnitude of the issues involved in addressing the needs, the role I can play is limited. Therefore CCPH is a means to organize the community in a meaningful way to address these needs and achieve the greatest impact possible. CCPH makes a difference! I like knowing, that I’m a part of that! I’m honored to be a part of this effort!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

CDC Adds Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Health Webpage to their Website

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Health webpage to their website. America’s gay and lesbian population comprises a diverse community with disparate health concerns. Major health issues for gay men are HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, substance abuse, depression, and suicide. Gay male adolescents are two to three times more likely than their peers to attempt suicide. Some evidence suggests lesbians have higher rates of smoking, overweight, alcohol abuse, and stress than heterosexual women. The issues surrounding personal, family, and social acceptance of sexual orientation can place a significant burden on mental health and personal safety. http://www.cdc.gov/lgbthealth

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Releases State Quality Data, Unveils New Resource - AHRQ has released its "State Snapshots" report, detailing state-specific, quality-related health care data.
