Our communities depend on our ability to make the
connection between education and democracy. This book can
breathe new life into colleges and universities that want
to reinforce their public service mission. Jacoby and her
colleagues tell us how to do it. --Dolores E. Cross,
president, Chicago State University.   Combining the most
current theory and practice in the field of
service-learning with many examples from actual campuses,
Service-Learning in Higher Education is a comprehensive
guide to developing high-quality service-learning
experiences both in the curriculum and through student
affairs programs.
