The problems confronting our world can feel insurmountable. But Tevin Monroe, Transylvania University’s assistant director of campus and community engagement, likes to remind people that positive change is palpable even in seemingly small increments. \u201cBy helping one child with homework,\u201d he says, \u201cyou make a difference.\u201d Individual actions at the local level can be powerful and lasting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way of thinking came as a revelation to Monroe as an undergraduate during an alternative spring break in Detroit. It continues to motivate him as the recent recipient of a Campus Compact Newman Civic Fellowship<\/a>, and is something he is compelled to share with the students he works with at Transy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to his \u201caha moment,\u201d Monroe says he had only known his college town for its local bars and restaurants, as any sociable college student might. The immersive program was the first real-world experience that placed him outside his comfort zone, in unfamiliar areas of the city, working and learning alongside community organizers and nonprofit groups for hours every day. He recalls the surprise of realizing how little he\u2019d known about the city and how he\u2019d largely been ignoring its assets: the neighborhoods, libraries, parks and people. He remembers thinking, \u201cThere\u2019s this whole other city out there that I\u2019ve not been exploring or learning from.\u201d He saw firsthand the enormous need outside his college world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That week of service redefined Monroe\u2019s approach and his future. Although he\u2019d long been reading and thinking about social problems, he now understood the difference between contemplating issues and taking action, and that everyone had the power to effect positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI realized I can<\/em> do something,\u201d he says, \u201ceven if it\u2019s a local solution to a local problem.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food waste, for example, was an issue that had long troubled him. As someone majoring in nutrition and food science, he\u2019d known that 40% of the food produced by America goes to waste. \u201cThat\u2019s almost half of the food,\u201d he would fume to himself and others: \u201cPeople are going hungry. There\u2019s lost revenue. And we\u2019re using up resources.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the service week, however, he began to think of simple, manageable solutions. He could see how something as simple as teaching a child to cook a meal while a parent worked could save food in a fridge, or volunteering to lead a class at a farmers\u2019 market on demystifying the rutabaga could redeem an unsold crop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose small things matter,\u201d he notes, \u201cand can chip away at America\u2019s food waste problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging students to become actively involved in their communities is part of Monroe\u2019s effort to create long-term solutions to large structural problems, including social inequity. He\u2019s seen how everyone benefits when students learn and grow as they get to know their communities and when university and community partnerships strengthen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018A rising tide lifts all boats,\u2019\u201d he says, searching for an applicable metaphor. \u201cHow can we raise the tides for all of us through these really targeted ways of lifting up marginalized communities?\u201d Doing so, ultimately, can lead to a more inclusive and accessible campus and an equitable world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of Monroe\u2019s abilities, his commitment to students and community building, he\u2019s been recognized as a \u201cchange maker\u201d and \u201cpublic problem-solver,\u201d along with his Newman Civic Fellowship that begins next fall. Part of an online graduate program in community engagement at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, he is wasting no time in getting to know the other fellows from across the country and beginning the process he loves \u2014 \u201cmaking connections between people and ideas and putting them together.\u201d He\u2019s already seeing how a colleague in Cincinnati with public health expertise could be a valuable resource for Transy students interested in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get a lot of energy from that,\u201d he says, by way of explaining what pushes him to add more academic and professional bona fides to his existing plate of responsibilities. Enriching his experience improves the experience of the students he works with and fuels the motivation he feels to keep learning and applying what he learns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>I seek out new learning to make connections in the things around me and to make sense of what is out there in the world,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m a believer in the idea that knowledge is created and it can be created by anybody. That\u2019s what makes me passionate about learning and about facilitating as well.\u201d All the ways that Transy engages, he says, \u201cthrough service programming, through educating about social issues, through things as simple as inviting kids to come and watch a basketball game for free \u2014 it\u2019s all just us as a university being a good neighbor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything we do for one group benefits the whole.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
