Bonner Cornerstones
Bonner Through The Years
Bonner Cornerstones
First Year Trip - new context for service & learning (i.e., poverty in campus and distant place)
Orientation - pre-college immersion provides a sense of community and a foundation for success
Second Year Exchange - the sense of a national movement and connections across campuses
Third Year Leadership - an opportunity to apply initiative on a project (i.e., international trip, campus-wide event, community event)
Capstones and Senior Presentations- an opportunity to integrative thinking and doing - at a site and often connected to student’s coursework
Organizations
Build campus center that leads effort to make
place-based community engagement deep, pervasive, integrated & developmental.

Transformation
“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” $
Robert Francis Kennedy
