                                                          In this interactive webinar, the presenters will share their personal story of violence and their work to engage students, other faculty, administrators, and community partners in reducing sexual assault and dating violence. Examples of both curricular and co-curricular programs that bring awareness, educate, and provide victim services will be highlighted. Finally, the speakers will facilitate discussion about obstacles and opportunities that exist on our campuses today.

                                                          Presenters:
                                                          Dr. Curt Brungardt and Dr. Christie Brungardt have a passion for making this world a better place!  They are best known as social entrepreneurs who have worked tirelessly to address issues of injustice and inequality.  Between them, they have 37 years experience in higher education where they have been active in the fields of leadership development and civic engagement.

                                                          Dr. Curt Brungardt is the senior member and creator of the Department of Leadership Studies and co-founder of the Center for Civic Leadership at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas.  He is the Omer G. Voss Distinguished Professor of Leadership Studies and the Executive Director of the Center for Civic Leadership.  He specializes in political leadership, social change, and community organizing.  Curt has authored and co-authored several books and numerous articles in the field of civic leadership.

                                                          Dr. Christie Brungardt is an Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies, Director of the Women’s Leadership Project, and co-founder of the Center for Civic Leadership at Fort Hays State University.  She specializes in women and leadership and women studies.  She has developed and implemented many of Fort Hays State’s civic engagement programs and activities like the annual state-wide Kansas Women’s Leadership Conference.  Christie publishes and presents in the fields of service learning and civic engagement, gender issues in leadership, and the scholarship of engagement.

                                                          On July 3, 2008, Curt and Christie’s lives changed forever.  Their daughter, Jana Mackey, a 25 year-old law student at the University of Kansas was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in Lawrence, KS.  Like her parents, Jana was also a committed social activist.  She was well known throughout Kansas for her advocacy for women’s rights.  She spent years volunteering to aid victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.

                                                          Since Jana’s death, Curt and Christie have been active nationally in the effort to reduce violence against women.  They have established Jana’s Campaign Inc. with the single purpose of reducing domestic and dating violence.  They believe it is their responsibility to use both the story of Jana’s life and the story of her death to reduce violence.  They both chair the Attorney General’s Batterers Intervention Program Advisory Board for the state of Kansas; they have been active in improving sexual assault response in rural areas; they have recruited hundreds of volunteers (from 19 states and 4 foreign countries) to work in the areas of domestic violence; they have traveled the country raising awareness of this issue and have lent their support to many national and international groups dedicated to this same purpose; and recently, they successfully helped spearhead the most comprehensive domestic violence legislation ever to pass in Kansas.  Last spring the state of Kansas recognized Curt & Christie Brungardt with the “State Champions” award for their work to reduce violence against women.

                                                          Are you interested in implementing a service learning curriculum in a graduate professional education setting, but the challenges seem daunting?

                                                          This webinar will explore the challenges and opportunities involved in implementing service learning in a graduate professional education setting. We will discuss ways of overcoming challenges and tips for success. We will describe a few examples of existing curricula at UCSF, including learner and community partner perspectives.

                                                          The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is a leading university dedicated to promoting health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care. It is the only UC campus in the 10-campus system dedicated exclusively to the health sciences.

                                                          The University Community Partnerships Office serves as UCSF's institutional infrastructure for community partnerships. The office supports the diverse ecosystem of organically developed, grass-roots community partnerships that exist at UCSF by facilitating community partnerships, incubating new initiatives, and helping to overcome institutional barriers impeding civic engagement. It also serves as a clearinghouse, capacity builder and navigator. The leaders of this webinar represent faculty, staff, community partners, and learners affiliated with this office.

                                                          Participants will be able to:
