Ira Harkavy, the associate vice president and founding director of the Barbara and Edward Netter Center for Community Partnerships<\/a> at the University of Pennsylvania, will be honored with the fifth annual Ernest L. Boyer Award on Jan. 23 during the annual Association of American Colleges & Universities meeting in Washington, D.C.<\/h3>\n

Awarded by New American Colleges & Universities<\/a>, a consortium of private, comprehensive colleges that are grounded in the liberal arts tradition, the award honors an individual who has made outstanding contributions to higher education.<\/h3>\n

Harkavy was selected for his pioneering work in university-community partnerships and the civic engagement of students and faculty. . . .<\/h3>\n

The Netter Center now focuses on two primary approaches that allow Penn to connect with the West Philadelphia community: academically based community service courses and university-assisted community school partnerships.<\/h3>\n

Academically based community service courses are a form of service learning that\u2019s focused on real world problem solving, such as those related to poverty, education and health care. These integrate learning, community service, teaching and research. . . .<\/h3>\n

After receiving his award, Harkavy will present a lecture on \u201cCreating the Connected Institution: Toward Realizing Benjamin Franklin\u2019s and Ernest Boyer\u2019s Revolutionary Vision for American Higher Education.\u201d<\/h3>\n
