One Paragraph Description

---

Davidson is working to drive higher and deeper levels of student involvement in service with agencies in the Davidson area, working in partnership with the Lake Norman Community Development Council and its key agencies, by uniquely using Web-based tools for outreach on campus. 

 

Summary of Activities: Cumulative

Please add a few bullets that summarize the work your program has done related to Serve 2.0 from first learning of the initiative.  This might include web media you've developed (such as wikis, videos), students/staff you've engaged, planning meetings, educational activities/trainings, and service events or activities sponsored in relation to this work.

• Primary social media developed/utilized: We developed a wiki page for the Bonner Program and we completed videos for the Bonner Video Challenge.  We also started a Davidson Bonner delicious account and updated our Facebook group.
• Trainings/educational activities held or attended: Ari visited campus and provided an overview of Serve 2.0 tools to several of our community partners.  That provided the framework on which this grant is based.
• Service/related events held or organized:

Wikis:  Please add a bullet describing how you are using wikis (e.g., for planning, project management, profiles, etc.) on campus and for this initiative.  Please link the wikis your campus has created.

• We use the Bonner wiki for program management and planning.  We have private administrative pages for tracking our “to-do” lists and information about each Bonner in order to share amongst the staff.  We’ve used pages for 1-on-1 meeting signups, program planning (sophomore recommitment and service exchange, first year trip, all Bonner socials, etc.).  Although each Bonner has a profile page that has not been as active.  We have a placeholder for the “Change Challenge” and we plan to use that for information, links to delicious sites, issue briefs and videos.  www.davidsonserves.pbwiki.com
