This is the sixth book about service-learning in higher education published by the University of Indianapolis Press. "This book series has provided a forum for service-learning practitioners, researchers, administrators, and theorists to present insights, experiences, best practices, and models in the application of this pedagogy to student learning, with a particular emphasis on the expanding sense of community through local, national, and international service-learning experiences. The growing base of literature from this series of books and from other resources has provided evidence for the effectiveness of service-learning on student outcomes." Publishing books such as this one is important because: "The exploration of preparing students for careers, of the development of professional behaviors and skills, and of a formal assessment of the behavioral outcomes associated through faculty and community partner role models and mentors is a fruitful area of future study in service-learning pedagogy. The workplace environment of the 21st century will demand that students come prepared with an understanding of professional roles and with the ability to interact with comprehensive interdisciplinary teams. This understanding can be achieved through the transformative nature of well-structured service-learning experiences that become increasingly broad in conceptualizing what constitutes community."
