Abstract

An attempt to reduce stress, headaches, and sleepless nights among students and staff in a university service-learning program, led to governance via the nine best practices described in this narrative. Using appreciative inquiry as the theoretical framework, current and former staff members were asked to tell stories of times when the service-learning program functioned at its best. Excerpts from the stories indicated that a number of the best practices helped set the stage for peak moments in the organization's history.
