Bonner Training, Education, and Reflection

The following presentation gives an overview of Bonner Student Development frameworks and types of meetings (i.e. cohort-based, site-based, etc.) for campuses to consider. It also includes a list of recommended themes, workshop topics, and cornerstone activities to help campuses plan their meeting calendars. 

 

Meetings Focused on Diversity & Inclusion 

 This presentation explains the importance of and rationale behind facilitating meetings on diversity and inclusion. The incorporation of suggested workshops/modules will help create safe space for students to understand diverse aspects of one's identity and navigate conversations involving different perspectives. These modules could be introduced as part of All Bonner meetings, and/or retreats. 

 

Bonner 1:1 Meetings

The following presentation is on building in one-on-one meetings between each student in the Bonner Program and a designated staff, faculty, or other mentor each semester. Students and mentors discuss the student's development and learning, community partners and service work, coursework and academic interests, social life, campus engagement, wellness, and other issues during one-on-one meetings.

  • Introduction to Community Engagement: This open-access curriculum developed by Virginia Commonwealth University is a great resource for mentors and educators to enhance students' understanding of community engagement and civic action. The weekly lessons and reflection questions prompt students to think beyond "volunteerism," and actively engage with the community.
  • Issues and Action Resource Manual has been written for students, faculty, and administrators to involve students in examining the issues that surround the action of their community engagement and to begin Issues and Action projects on their own campuses.  These projects enable students to examine issues they encounter through their community service work, including the causes of community problems and related government and social policies.  Through the processes suggested in this manual, student can become more actively involved in creating effective solutions to community problems. 
  • How to understand power (TEDed video, discussion prompts, and article links): Every day, we move and operate within systems of power that other people have constructed. But we’re often uncomfortable talking about power. Why? Eric Liu describes the six sources of power and explains how understanding them is key to being an effective citizen.
  • How to turn protest into powerful change (TEDed video, discussion prompts, and article links): We live in an age of protest. On campuses, in public squares, on streets and social media, protestors around the world are challenging the status quo. But while protest is often necessary, is it sufficient? Eric Liu outlines three strategies for peacefully turning awareness into action and protest into durable political power. 
  • Citizen Power in America by The Aspen Ideas Festival (iTunesU Course):  Like it or not, we live in a time of declining popular trust in government and the market. It is an age for citizens to rediscover their role and responsibilities in American life. This course introduces a range of learners to the content of our citizenship. What does it mean to be a citizen of this exceptional nation? Why are civic knowledge and skill in decline, and what is the cost of that decline? How can we revive the practice of everyday citizenship, and renew our commitment to the idea of America? These are the questions we will explore together.
