The Challenges of Leading an Office of Community Service, Service-Learning, Civic Engagement, Community Partnerships, or Public Service December 3, 2007 Leading an office that supports campus/community engagement has many challenges. Some confront every one of us; some are particular to our locations in our particular institutions. Our challenges include: Working without enough resources. Working without the support of key players on the campus. Trying to balance day-to-day work and long-range planning and development, or trying to balance program management and being a catalyst for change on the campus. Either managing staff (which involves a whole set of skills we may not have been trained for) or managing an office without any staff (which involves doing everything!). Being located on one side of the student affairs/academic affairs divide, and needing to connect to the other side. Trying to balance attention to the campus and attention to the community. Managing conflict. Having roles that require us to devote substantial time to activities that are not central to the work of community engagement. And probably many others. This Think Tank session will explore the challenges you face, and will use the participants as a consulting group to identify strategies to deal with the most critical challenges.
