• The Center for Service and Learning reports that in 2006-2007, IUPUI students provided close to 41,000 hours of service to 178 local community partners through service learning courses in which work with the community was a key component of the academic curriculum.  For example, over half of our freshman-level Themed Learning Communities included service learning intended to educate students for responsible citizenship and to introduce them to potential professional fields, including education, social work, criminal justice, and nursing.  Service learning figures here do not include non-course-based volunteer work by students or pre-professional internships and clinical placements.
• The Lilly Endowment Inc. awarded the Center on Philanthropy in the School of Liberal Arts a $40 million endowment grant to provide permanent support for a portion of the Center’s operating expenses.  The gift will expand the Center’s capacity to innovate, address new challenges facing the nonprofit sector, and take advantage of emerging opportunities to fulfill the potential of philanthropy as a force that can change the world for the better.
