Integrating Curricular and Co-Curricular Endeavors to Enhance Intellectual, Intercultural, Global, Community, and Personal Student Outcomes Charles Wankel, St John's University, New York, and Laura A. Wankel, Northeastern University, Boston Call for Chapter proposals In too many ways higher education is still a series of silo-like endeavors rather than collaborative integrated fabrics. Integrating classroom learning with out of class experience designed to produce significant outcomes remains elusive and haphazard. Evidence that significant student learning and development takes place in multiple venues such as internships, service learning, clubs and organizations, student employment etc. invites thoughtful integration of intellectual, personal, and behavioral linkages between curricular and co-curricular offerings. A more seamless intentional approach to such integration can overcome some of the sub-optimal structures of the past. This volume will be a forum to share theory, research, and practice of the integration of academic programs with co-curricular, community, international, study abroad, NGOs, service learning, internships, alumni networks, secondary school programs, clubs and organizations etc. For example, medical education in the United States traditionally had a two plus two year structure where two years of science study was followed by two years of clinical training at hospitals, often without adequate facilitation of the transfer of learning from classroom to practice. We are interested in reports on change to more integrated curricula that overcome inherent problems of the separation of academic learning from that related to other spheres.
