Will You Join Our Service Learning Project?

This blog exists to tell you about a service-learning project in the Persuasion Class at Malone University.

Right now, students in this class are looking for potential community partners who we might work with. You're probably reading this web site because one of these students has approached you. Your organization would be a good fit with our needs, hopefully this blog will help you determine whether these students would be a help to your organization

The students would be working for you. Part of their grade would be dependent on your evaluation of the work that they did for you.

They would be responsible to understand your organization’s mission, goals, and constituents.

They would be required to do the research necessary to find out what kind of message would best meet your needs.

They would present a report to report to you at the end of the semester that will include several strategies to meet your communication needs.

Click here to find out about what these students would need from you.

While I have high hopes that some of the solutions our students will provide will bring insight and potential solutions to your problems, and I have great faith that some of the students you’ll work with are some of the finest, brightest, most conscientious students at Malone, I also know that one of the biggest benefits of this project will actually happen for the students.

Understanding persuasion within the context of the real world brings an invaluable dimension to the learning we do together. If you would be willing to partner with us, I’d be especially grateful for the depth and nuance that you’d be providing for our students. Hopefully that benefit will indirectly benefit your organization as these students become future leaders in our community.
