On The Move!While we were pulling this newsletter together,we were completely amazed by everything that PACE has been able to accomplish this past academic year; needless to say, SalisburyUniversity’s Institute for Public Affairs and CivicEngagement has been busy. Whether it wasworking with faculty through Drs. Sarah Surakand Alexander Pope’s Civic Engagement Acrossthe Curriculum seminars, inviting candidates to campus for our inaugural Candidate Meet-and-Greet, registering students to vote viaTurboVote, hosting public policy forums orwelcoming our newest class of PresidentialCitizen Scholars (and the list could continue), itis clear that PACE is back and is on the move!

After taking a trip to Washington, D.C.,several months ago with Fulton School DeanMaarten Pereboom and Dr. Sarah Surak, itbecame quite obvious that an organization like PACE is indeed a rarity among our peerinstitutions nationwide. During that trip, wehad the opportunity to meet with Dr. GeorgeMeHaffy, the American Association of StateColleges and Universities’ vice president ofacademic leadership and change. He indicatedto us that Drs. Harry Basehart and FranKane’s establishment of PACE and thePresidential Citizen Scholar Program wastotally unique, utterly innovative and incrediblyremarkable. PACE is one of SU’s greatest

Presidential Citizen Scholars ProgramBy Dr. Alexander Pope

This spring marked the first semester of the renewed Presidential Citizen Scholarprogram (PCS), a multi-faceted, civicengagement experience that preparesstudents to become community leaders now and in the future. The program offersstudents of all majors and levels ofexperience opportunities to become engagedin the political life of the community and todevelop habits of democratic citizenship.Students who complete the requirements of this program receive distinctiverecognition as Presidential Citizen Scholars.

Students are invited to apply for thecompetitive program by presidentialinvitation. Applicants from across theUniversity were asked to submit essaysresponding to the question: “What would you like to change about the community?”This past fall, PACE offered admission to 16 students from across the schools.

Under the direction of PCS program co-directors, Dr. Sarah Surak (Fulton School)and I (Seidel School), the two-credit specialtopics course, IDIS 280 - Civic Engagement:An Introduction for Presidential CitizenScholars, makes extensive use of the greaterSalisbury community, including field tripsand participation in community events. Overthe past semester, Scholars have explored the

theory and practice of active and engagedcitizenship. In doing so, they have workedcollectively to identify a contemporarycommunity issue, explored the reasons andcauses for that problem, and collaborativelydeveloped an action plan for how to addressit. Their direct community engagement hasincluded presentations at 3rd Friday, CityCouncil and University events.

Presidential Citizen Scholars begin theprogram in the second semester of theirsophomore year. The fall of their junior year involves monthly program meetings,participation in University or communityorganizations and targeted University events.Spring junior year brings another specialtopics course, Civically Engaged: A Capstonefor Presidential Citizen Scholars, whenindividual scholars identify, examine andwork to address a meaningful communityissue. Scholars also must complete one, four-credit Civic Engagement Across theCurriculum course or an internship throughlocal community organization or TheWashington Center. Civic EngagementAcross the Curriculum is a professionaldevelopment seminar that helps facultyintegrate civic engagement opportunities into their courses.

This past fall, six members of the Fulton faculty and one fromSeidel participated in PACE’ssecond Civic Engagement Acrossthe Curriculum (CEAC) facultydevelopment seminar. ChristinaCammarano, Chrys Egan, KaraFrench, Elizabeth Kauffman,Shawn McEntee, Eric Rittingerand Diana Wagner participated in SU’s program for facultydelivery of civic engagementactivities. The program providesthe tools and enticements to doso in a rigorous manner.

CEAC draws support fromboth PACE and the Universitymission and vision statements.Faculty members consider themeaning of citizenship and whatcivic engagement is as they move toward the creation oftheir own course enhancementsthrough readings, discussions and external assignments. Theentire seminar is constructed as a deliberation around thequestion, “How can we engagestudents in their community?”

Seminar conferencecoordinators Dr. Alexander Pope (Seidel School) and I (Fulton School) are conducting a related research program toassess the success of the seminar in supporting civic engagementdelivery within courses. We havepresented initial findings at theAmerican Democracy Projectannual conference as well as the American Political ScienceAssociation’s Teaching andLearning Conference, and we will present further results at the Middle States Council for the Social Studies.

This past fall I had the pleasure of takingNative American History, taught by Dr. Céline Carayon. This was one of the best classes I have ever taken at SU. Dr. Carayon did a masterful job of makingthis course unique in the content it coveredand in the way it was taught. Rather thanfocusing on a chronological history ofAmerican Indians, the course insteadhighlighted specific themes and issues Native populations have experienced and are currently experiencing.

We analyzed topics such as myths,misunderstandings, misinterpretations, re-appropriations and history, all with thegoal to understand where Native Americansare today. At the close of the course, we hadthe opportunity to display this understandingthrough a civic engagement presentation in

which groups selected a specific Native tribe.Rather than explaining the tribe’s history, wetried to show current issues being faced todayby using their history. We also had to offersolutions to these problems. This was themost important part of the course: we wereactually using history to make changes in thepresent. We brought awareness to a group ofpeople who have been forgotten at times andneed help getting the rights, privileges andjustice that everyone deserves.

As someone who wants to teach history,this course was invaluable to me, not just inthe content, which was powerful and eyeopening, but in the overall message that itconveyed, that we can physically use historyto right the wrongs of the past and make thefuture better for all people.

Six Salisbury University faculty membersare directing SU’s participation in the Economic Inequality Initiative,coordinated by the American DemocracyProject. Drs. Adam Hoffman (PoliticalScience), Robert Kirsch (Philosophy),Alexander Pope (Teacher Education),Eric Rittinger (Political Science), AlexStoner (Sociology) and I (PoliticalScience/Environmental Studies) areworking though PACE to develop theinitiative on campus. The initiative’s aimis to collaborate with other universitiesacross the country to pedagogicallyaddress the issue of economic inequality.In January, SU sent a contingent

of faculty members to a three-dayconference in Washington, D.C., at the headquarters for the AmericanAssociation of State Colleges andUniversities (AASCU) to work withpeople from other universities todevelop ways for people acrossdisciplines and departments topedagogically use the pressing issue of economic inequality in the UnitedStates. Through this conference, ourfaculty members are poised to take thelead on this national initiative.Also this past January, the committee

screened former Secretary of LaborRobert Reich’s documentary Inequalityfor All for interested faculty. Doing so drew attention to the extent ofeconomic inequality in America, whileencouraging a faculty conversation.Faculty were asked how they might liketo see this initiative develop on campus,what resources are needed to integrateeconomic inequality into the classroomand if they had specific questions abouteconomic inequality. Faculty resources will be posted

on the PACE website. As the initiativemoves forward, faculty are encouragedto utilize these resources and contributerelevant resources. The working grouphopes that faculty across campus will join them in this important andinterdisciplinary initiative that addressesa vitally complex issue in our students’lives.

PACE Announces Formal Partnership with The Washington Center (TWC)By Robby Sheehan

In September, the Institute for Public Affairs and CivicEngagement (PACE) was pleased to announce a formalized partnership with The Washington Center, thanks to the recommendation andsupport of Fulton School DeanMaarten Pereboom, which willprovide greater access andaffordability to SalisburyUniversity students.

The Washington Center (TWC), established in 1975, was created to provideundergraduate students with a multi-faceted, semester-long,residential experience in the D.C. metropolitan area thatintegrates real-world workexperience, academic and civicenrichment, and leadershipdevelopment opportunities.Students, from across the nationand around the globe, submitcompetitive applications to theTWC for the chance to intern with some of the most prestigiousorganizations in our nation’scapital, including The WhiteHouse, the United StatesCongress, CNN, the Fox NewsNetwork and the National ScienceFoundation, just to name a few.Students also are required toparticipate in an academic courseon a topic of their choosing inaddition to leadership and civicengagement seminars.

After visiting The WashingtonCenter’s campus in D.C.’s NoMadistrict with Dr. Pereboom earlierthis academic year, it was clearthat Salisbury University studentscould significantly benefit from a SU/TWC partnership. PACE’snew partnership streamlines theapplication, registration andpayment processes for studentsand ensures that courses takenwith TWC are able to transfer

back to SU for credit towardgraduation. Additionally, theState of Maryland has earmarkedan annual appropriation, upwardof $100,000, to specifically fundscholarships for students who are residents of Maryland toparticipate in this program.According to TWC’s leadership,the majority of these scholarshipsare under-utilized every year; for these reasons, we decided to move forward with thispartnership and advertise theopportunity extensively acrosscampus.

We are happy to report thatwe have several students who will be participating in TheWashington Center’s program for the summer and fallsemesters. It is our hope thatthese numbers will continue torise as students realize theenormous opportunity they haveto, effectively, “study abroad” in D.C. while building personaland professional connections thatwill last a lifetime and benefittheir careers in the long-term.

Please consider encouragingyour students to apply for thisincredible opportunity. If youhave any additional questionsregarding The WashingtonCenter, please emailpace@salisbury.edu or visitwww.twc.edu.

Our special thanks to Dr. DianeAllen, provost; Betty Crockett,vice president of administrationand finance; Jackie Maisel,registrar; Tony Pasquarello,comptroller; Fulton AssociateDean Darrell Newton and TabithaPilchard, director of accountsreceivable, for their assistance inmaking this partnership possible.

I was fortunate to intern inthe House of Delegateswith the Majority Leader,Delegate Anne Kaiser,Democrat from District 14in Montgomery County.This was the first sessionthat she was in thisimportant leadership

position. She also is a member of the Waysand Means Committee and is chair of theEducation Subcommittee.

The most valuable and unique experienceI had was testifying in front of the Ways andMeans Committee. HB 298, sponsored byDelegate Kaiser, was introduced to helpprotect preK-12 student data from being soldto advertising companies. The bill passed inboth the House and Senate and is waiting forthe Governor’s signature.

Not all interns are given the chance totestify, but Delegate Kaiser believed it was an educational opportunity. I and anotherintern, Jianing, a University of MarylandCollege Park senior, were given a bill to trackand the task of researching and writing thetestimony. I was nervous at first to speak infront of the committee, but the nerves wentaway after I started speaking. This experiencehas strengthened my writing skills and mademe more comfortable with public speaking.

I recommend this internship program toeveryone at Salisbury University, whetherthey are a political science major or Englishor business. It has shown me that I want tobe involved in state politics in some way;either working as an aide, lobbyist or mayberunning for an elected office one day.

Thank you to Salisbury University forgiving me the opportunity.

PACE’s Mission Statement Revamped By Robby Sheehan

Over the course of the past two semesters,PACE’s Strategic Planning Committeeworked diligently to revise and updatePACE’s mission statement. The committeeengaged in thoughtful deliberation andserious discussion to ensure that thestatement not only incorporates the vision ofour founders, but also clarifies and hones ourstrategic objectives for the campus andsurrounding communities. The committeealso took a deliberate look at how weconceptually define “public affairs” and“civic engagement.” Check out our finalproduct below:

The Institute for Public Affairs and CivicEngagement (PACE) at Salisbury Universityserves the academic and broadercommunities through:

•Non-partisan programming designed topromote civil discourse and an expandedunderstanding of issues related to thepublic good;

•Support for civic engagementopportunities and citizenship education;

•Cultivation of a more informed anddemocratic citizenry; and

•Promotion of good government at thelocal, state and federal levels.

Examples of these activities includeorganizing forums to discuss issues, workingon local recycling efforts, building homes forHabitat for Humanity and providingopportunities for our students to work onpolitical campaigns. Such activities supportthe Institute’s understanding of public affairsand civic engagement.Public Affairs: By the term “public affairs,”we mean issues and ideas in the realm ofcommunity concern or interest. There isdebate over whether some issues belong inthat realm. Nevertheless, democratic societieshandle lawmaking and enforcement, publicsafety, national security, and the distributionof a range of services through an electedgovernment, which is accountable to thecitizens of a community, whether local ornational. Understanding the interplay amongpublic and private, individual interest andcommunity good is essential to effectiveengagement in the realm of public affairs.Civic Engagement: “Civic Engagement” is a broad term that encompasses the widerange of activities by which citizens worktogether to improve the quality of life in theircommunities, whether locally, nationally oreven internationally. Its core meaning

expresses the idea that democratic citizenshipis embodied whenever people come togetherto define the public good, determine theprocesses by which they will seek this good,or reform policies and institutions that do not serve this good.Civic engagement education “explicitlyteaches the knowledge, skills and valuesbelieved necessary for democraticcitizenship” (Kahne & Middaugh, 2010, p. 141). This approach inspires, informs andshapes learning activities to impact publicaffairs. Those activities also deepen ourunderstanding of how social, political andeconomic systems work and how individualscan work effectively within those systems as they develop sustained habits of activedemocratic citizenship. Civic engagementeducation is a key value of SalisburyUniversity and should be considered a keyvalue of every university.

The opportunity to work for both of thesedelegates furthered my internship experiencebecause I had to dig deeper and learn thecontext of bills, rather than just understand thetalking points. This internship gave me theopportunity to sit in on discussions of somereally cool and controversial bills. Examples arethe fracking bills, death with dignity, the statebudget, Salisbury University’s budget hearingand local issues like the “EVO” bill that led tothe expansion of EVO Craft Brewery indowntown Salisbury.

I learned a great deal about Marylandpolitics, and they were not things I would havelearned in a textbook at school. It was apositive experience and I will take what I’velearned with me through the next chapters ofmy life.
