This document summarizes Silliman University's community engagement and service program. It discusses how volunteerism is an important part of the university's education, with students and faculty developing projects with partner communities. It then outlines the 5-step process for engagement projects, which includes assigning a faculty leader, inclusion in college planning, selecting recipient communities, providing training, and conducting evaluations. Several past projects are described that provided technology training to local government offices and schools. Key lessons learned include the importance of proper planning, challenges with interest and participation, and ensuring documentation and evaluation of projects. The future direction discussed expanding internationally and making service-learning a formal part of computer studies programs.
