networks while enhancing student learning. Key features: Discuss
how sustainable service-learning partnerships can contribute to
building disaster-resilient communities; Provide practical tools to
cultivate and manage collaborative partnerships, and engage in
reflective practices; Integrate disciplines to create innovative
approaches to complex problems; Share best practices, lessons
learned, and case examples that identify strategies for integrating
service-learning and research into course design; Offer
considerations for ethical decision-making and for the development
of equitable solutions when engaging with stakeholders; Identify
strategies to bridge the gap between academia and practice while
highlighting resources that institutions of higher education can
contribute toward disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and
mitigation. Service-Learning for Disaster Resilience will serve as
