LET'S MAKE SUMMER A PICNIC FOR EVERYONE
SERVICE-LEARNING & CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
AUGUST 2, 2003
Come one, come all. Please join the efforts of this three-part
service-learning project. We begin the day bringing together local business
executives and Academy members to sort and bag food for Northwest Harvest
clients. The food has been "raised" by drives conducted by local businesses
as part Northwest Harvest's "Let's Make Summer a Picnic for Everyone"
campaign. Play an additional role and bring a box, can, or bag of food
(non-perishable) to donate and/or your checkbook for a monetary gift.
Afterwards, we will have a casual lunch conversation about making
service-learning work for corporate and social responsibility. Boxed
lunches will be available for a nominal fee, a portion of which goes to
Northwest Harvest.
The afternoon concludes with a continuation of the lunchtime conversation
with a more formal session. Here the following questions are addressed:
What does community service mean for management educators? What does it
mean for managers and other corporate leaders? How does corporate
volunteerism affect broader corporate social responsibility/corporate
citizenship programs? How does involvement in service learning affect
student views toward social responsibility? What can corporate volunteer
programs and university service learning programs learn from each other?
