Approximately 1000 students have experienced this award-winning class since the summer of 1989. We hope you find our work of some interest as well as being useful in your efforts to initiate, develop, and promote service learning in higher education. We have a significant amount of experience which may be an important resource in your efforts to promote service learning in higher education. Thank you for your consideration, Professor Andrew G. Verzilli and the Learn by DUing students of Drexel University CC: President Richard Breslin 2 The Triangle April 23, 1993, Drexel University NEWS IN BRIEF Breslin to serve on White House committee NEWS DESK On Wednesday, April 21, University President Richard D. Breslin traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend a meeting with Eli Segal, director of the White House Office of National Service. Breslin was one of twenty-five university presidents selected to discuss President Clinton's soon-to-be announced National Service Legislation. "You have some real friends in Washington," Segal told the group of 25. He added, "We look forward to a long and strong relationship between the White House and institutions of higher education which promote the ethic of service." The group of 25 form the executive board of Campus Compact, a coalition of 360 college and university presi- dents committed to encouraging public service as an essen- tial part of undergraduate education. During the meeting they expressed their excitement about President Clinton's plan to allow young people to pay for college through ser- vice. Representing a wide array of colleges and universities, the presidents were particularly interested in how the plan will affect their individual schools and other similar institutions. Specific details as to how institutions of higher education can form partnerships with local service organizations and how institutions can incorporate service learning into their curricula were discussed at length with Segal. Bill Galston, deputy domestic policy adviser to the President, and Jack Lew, legislative counsel to the White House Office of National Service, also attended the meeting. Other schools represented include Stanford University, Marietta College, The University of Pennsylvania and Spel- man College. IT'S TIME to U - it!

These concepts and tools of analysis will cut across the various disciplines of study in the university. The specific objective is to have students from different disciplines participate on interdisciplinary teams of analysis and problem solving. Students learn from each other, they integrate and they connect the various disciplines and subject matters. A second objective of this course is that students learn and participate in viable and important community and public interest policy projects.

Limited space is available. Interested students should contact Prof. Ronnie Manlin at 895-2408. Executive Summary As a consequence of gathering data about/relative to the South Street area, over the past two years, and as a result of analyzing this data, we the students of Drexel University offer the following major overall observations: I. Because of the physical constraints that encumber the South Street Corridor as it has developed over the past years, and the massive crowds which visit, the planning issue, by its very nature, is more complicated, integrated and comprehensive than simply the South Street Corridor. The major issue is how Philadelphia will provide areas for the use of leisure time which provide for strolling, dining, socializing and specialty/general shopping. For the East side of Philadelphia this involves more than simply the South Street Corridor. This should be a planning issue for the entire city and the surrounding area. II. The Residents and the Merchants clearly need each other. III. Interestingly, our observations do not support the expectations of both the merchants and residents concerning their arguments on the barricade issue. IV. The South Street area is consistent with its history in continually attracting and accommodating diverse individuals, constituents and cultures. It is this diversity which should beits strength and major basis for potential development.

PURPOSE OF COURSE: The purpose of this course is to have students use, sharpen and refine concepts, theories, tools of analysis, information and issues in understanding and analyzing decision-,making in various public policy frameworks. These concepts and tools of analysis will cut across the various disciplines of study in the university. The specific objective is to have students from different disciplines participate on interdisciplinary teams of analysis and problem solving. Students learn from each other; they integrate and they connect the various disciplines and subject matters. A second objective of this course is that students learn and participate in viable and important community and public interest policy projects. Also, we will be working with collection and analysis, public policy issues, transportation issues, streetscape, signage and environmental issues. PURPOSE OF PROJECT: The purpose of this project is to collect and generate "Before and After" visual and conceptual observations and descriptions (an information base) for the Center City Special Services District area, which will focus on tow of the three necessarily integrated action plans embraced by the Mission of The Special Services District; the Maintenance Program and the Security Program. NEED: The need for these observations and descriptions is based on the interest and intention to assess the early outcomes in this extremely well designed, detailed and innovative project. An on-going information base is necessary for this analysis and assessment. METHODOLOGY: Drexel University students (mostly seniors majoring in various disciplines across the College of Business and Administration), under the guidance and supervision of faculty members and independent consultants and various professionals outside of the University who volunteer their expertise, will gather the targeted information using focus groups to design questionnaires presented through interviews and mail, on-site color slides and on-site video recording. The "Before" agenda is planned for the remainder of this term, and the "After" agenda is planned for the Spring Term (beginning approximately March 25, 1991). This preliminary "Before and After" profile information on-gathering stage is designed to be completed by June 1, 1991. AGENDA: Early January to February 4, 1991 1 - Preliminary gathering of information 2 - Students briefing of Project and Issues 3 - Task Team formation based on a 4 quadrant geographical assignment 4 - Preliminary questionnaire design and arrangements for focus group participation a) residents b) retail merchants c) other business firms (Close work here with marketing research consultant) 5 - Preparation for Video and Slide Shooting (Guidance from Drexel Professor): 6 - Site visits 7 - Ready for "DO IT" Agenda It should be noted that as of January 15, 1991, 260 5 X 7 black and white photographs were completed on selected areas in the SSD. These photographs are available for examination and information-gathering. FUTURE AGENDA February 4 and After Week of February 4 - Video and Color Slide shooting begins, 2-3 weeks duration Week of February 4 - Focus Group screening and selection AGENDA (continued) February 8, 1991 - Focus Group Meetings Carole Couzens, Facilitator Student participants and observers 8:00 - 10:00 Retail Merchants 11:00 - 1:00 Residents 2:00 - 4:00 The Business Firms Week of February 11 - Analysis of Focus Group Videos and input Weeks of February 11 & February 18 - Construct and code Interview Instruments February 18 - Test Interview Instruments on Retail Merchants, Residents, and the Business Firms Weeks of February 25 and March 15 - Conduct interviews and input to machine March 21 - Preliminary scrutiny of cross tabs and distribution Late February and early March - Video editing and Slide discriminations and selection for preliminary scrutiny Late March - Begin preparations for "After" Project Late March - early April - The "Before" information base will be available for scrutiny. OUTCOMES: "Before and After" Outcomes - Videos, Slides, and Conceptual Interviews are expected by the end of May 1991. FUNDING: Our work is internally funded by Drexel University through the use of facilities, equipment, research assistants and teaching assistants and faculty support. Generous support in the form of time and facilities is also provided by various business people and private consultants. Finally, the students are the major sources of funds through the use of their time, enthusiasm and work. THIS WORK IS OFFERED RESPECTFULLY BY THE STUDENTS OF DREXEL UNIVERSITY.
