As Bonner Leaders move through the program at Bates, many students find ways to integrate their academic and Bonner work, some even writing community-engaged theses. A recent Bates Bonner grad wrote a thesis entitled "Building Mutually Beneficial Partnerships: An Exploration of Effective Strategies for Building and Sustaining Campus-Community Partnerships." She is working with a Bates sociology professor to write and publish a paper based on her research.
Bates Bonners often create programs that provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for members of the Bates community. A recent example is a program that provides opportunities for Bates students to form friendships with adults with developmental disabilities.

CAMPUS-WIDE ENGAGEMENT AT A GLANCE

Members of the Harward Center team worked with the Bates Student Government to create a new Community Liaison officer position for all student clubs and organizations. Community Liaisons work with Harward Center staff to develop relevant volunteer opportunities for their groups.
The Harward Center offers two programs aimed at supporting students who want to bring their academic skills and interests to bear in community-engaged projects. The Community-Engaged Research Fellows Program provides funding, mentoring, and peer reflection for student projects that advance public needs, as articulated in dialogue with community partners, through significant academic research. The Short-Term Action/Research Team (STA/RT) program provides opportunities for students to use their quantitative and qualitative research skills on behalf of partners who have identified particular research needs.
