Capacity Building
Description : UNO students hired as Collaborative interns are matched with community organizations, working 10 hours a week for that organization in the community. Students are paid through the grant-funded program. Nonprofits coordinate meaningful work for interns to benefit the student experience in different ways. Students typically intern during the fall and spring semesters and may serve the same organization for more than one academic year. Each unique student that works as a Collaborative intern with this specific community partner is identified within this project.

Description : The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the Honors College seminar on students terms of the service learning construct. Service learning is a pedagogy that connects community service with academic course content and objectives. Service learning pedagogies have been carried out in chemistry at the college level. This is a multiple-case study embedded within a one-semester Honors College General Chemistry II seminar. Findings indicate that the students developed more specific knowledge and appreciation of the community and expressed their intention to continue volunteering to improve academic and scientific skills. Implications of this pedagogy for chemistry teaching and learning are discussed.
