Roundtable Session 4
In service-learning, who is served? Service-learning students are being served by the experience; how do they avoid exploiting those served?

Table 4       Betsy Hart, Office of Community Engagement, University of Arkansas at Little Rock

Roundtable Session 5
Do no harm: Is it community service when it reproduces the status quo? How can our students critique the society that makes social agencies necessary and at the same time serve within those agencies?

Roundtable Session 6
Instructors who serve: How dirty are our hands; how wet are our feet? What should be the role of the instructor in service-learning? Distant director? Engaged partner?

Roundtable Session 7
Faith-based organizations as community partners: Is their social service secular? What about the faith tradition of the service-learning student? The faith tradition of those served?
