- Abstract
This article is the inaugural piece in a three-part series that will chronicle the service learning aspects of a teaching experiment. It was not originally conceived as a service-learning or public scholarship project. The author hopes that this series will provide insight into the nuts and bolts issues of conceiving and delivering an experientially based educational project that serves learners and the communities they are a part of. Several colleagues in the College of Professional Studies, the author's academic home, had interests in health communication and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock had just opened its new School of Public Health. The dean and the director of the school were eager to forge an alliance with Public Health, sensing an opportunity to collaborate in interdisciplinary research, grant writing and teaching. The new chancellor and the new provost were interested in strengthening ties to the community through community engagement. To encourage this, the provost provides financial incentives under the heading of the Community-University Partnership Grants program.
