Emmanuel Launches Boomerang Pragram

Emmanuel students arc returning to their high school alma maiers and talking abollt their college experi­('nees through a new program called Boomerang. Students hay€ long been involved in recru.itment at Emmanuel, but this program focuses on st\ldent~ representing the College in their own communities. Boomerang Co-<:oordinator and Admissions Counselor Laura Brink explains that the program will, "open a lot of doors for Emmanuel and strengthen one-on-one relationsrups with high school guidance coun­selors."

According to Laura, Euunanuel stu­dentshuve incen tives to become iny<.>jv...o in the program. "Students not only get a chance to give back to Emmanuel, they bcnefit by gaining a valuable experiencl' to add to their resumes. Alsu, the Admissions office offers an in~ntive program to encourage student participation."

TIu' incentive program is two-fold. Students who complete a high school visit and submit an evaluation receive a gift. In addition, a Boomerang par­ticipnnt who writes a reconunenda­tion for a student from any high school receives a gift certificate to the Emmanuel bookstore if the prospec­tive student i~ accepted by Emmanuel md make! a tuition deposit.

Emmanuel Promotes Service Learning by Susan G ifford- Student Life

Excerpt from the MaS${jchusett~ Campus Compact Nervs/tller

During the Campus CDmp~ct

Institute in January, th" Emmanuel College team addressed several ques­tions while developing a vision state­ment and action plan. How do we talk about service learning in II. way that provides faculty members with techniques to facilitate student learn­ing? Where do the out-of-c1ass com­mWlity service efforts of our students lit into the institutional gool of pro­moting students' moral and civic development?

AddresSing social justice issues and women's concerns has always been part of the mission of the College and its lounders, the Sisters uf Notre Dame. Is service learning a way to

further institutionalize this part of the Emmanuel College m ission, and carry out qur responsibility to the commWlity?

Thanks to the organizers of the institute, each team was assignro a coach. Prepared with substantial research on the culture of campus life at Emmanuel, our coach challenged us to develop a specific action plan and ask for the needed support from the College. Key 10 the development of our action plan were the missions of Emmanuel College and the Sisters of Notre Dame. Our pl.m focuses on using alrc~dy existing relationships with local sites such as the Sisters of Notre Dame Education Center which provides ESL and adult educati,m classes and Project Hope, a ~helter for

women. We also plan to further develop Tel~tionships with the sur­rounding cornmW1ities of the Fenway ilfid Mission Hill.

Work has already begun on provid­ing faculty development opportuni­ties for those interested in incorporat­ing seTviC(' into their courses. We hope to open a Center for Community Action in the future. !he Service Lea rning Committee will con­tinue to promote service in the cur­riculum at Emmanuel College, assist­ed greatly by the direction provided al the Institu te on Integrating Service into the Academic Curriculum.
