1 UNIVERSITY DISTRICT RESOURCE DIRECTORY University District Partnership University of Arkansas at Little Rock 2801 South University Avenue December, 2014

2 Preface The University District Engaged Scholars Program (UDESP) was a year-long pilot project aimed at providing an interdisciplinary group of undergraduate students in the College of Professional Studies with a high-impact educational experience. Twelve students from the college were selected to participate. The Director of the University District Partnership and the faculty advisor of UDESP coordinated a set of service learning, field work, and clinical activities that would serve the population of the University District. Throughout the year the scholars met as a group to reflect on the outcomes of their efforts. They were able to find ways to collaborate in order to complete their project as they learned more about the needs of the University District. As a result of their collaborative effort, they created the University District Resource Directory. 2
