minology with contributing authors. However, we wish to
alert readers to the varied use of terms such as "community
service," "service-learning," "academic service-learning,"
"community-based learning," "civic engagement," and
"civic purposes of higher education." Each author brings a
unique perspective and her/his own approach to terminology. For definitions of terms, readers are encouraged to turn
to the Campus Compact "Service Learning Toolkit" (2000)
as a good introductory resource.
