Partnerships recognizes that successful engaged learning depends on effective partnerships between students, faculty, community agencies, administrators, disciplines, and more. The articles in this peer-reviewed journal focus on how theories and practices can inform and improve such partnerships, connections, and collaborations. Studies co-authored by faculty, students, and/or community partners; or examining practices across disciplines or campuses; or exploring international networks are all encouraged.

Dear Journal Readers,
This second issue of Partnerships highlights the celebration of an icon in the service-learning community, Mr. Robert Sigmon. Reading through the two invited articles will provide insight into Sigmon’s passion about the value of partnerships between communities and workplaces as well as a wonderful interview by Dr. Lisa Keyne, highlighting the inspiring life of this gifted service learning pioneer. Additional articles featured in this issue build upon Sigmon’s important work and highlight topics such as social entrepreneurship, a new theoretical model for development of university-community partnerships and the reciprocity among service-learning constituents. Future publications will highlight International Partnerships (July 2010) and Campus-Community Partnerships highlighting student voices (December 2010).
