ARCHIVES NOVEMBER 2004: The Cooperative Education Program celebrated its 30th anniversary in collaboration with the Alumni Association at a reception and recognition program on May 1, 2004. Co-op alumni from all classes were invited to join staff, supervisors and faculty advisers to commemorate the program’s three decades of excellence, share their achievements, network and contribute to Co-op's future. The Cooperative Education Fund for the Future (CEFF) was established in 2004 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Co-op Program. Through the gifts of the MSU Co-op alumni, CEFF will fund projects that address Community needs and advance the civic and professional development of students. By building in the resources and partnerships established by the Co-op Program, this fund will serve as a catalyst for community engagement, support experiential education projects, highlight campus-community achievements and encourage institutional change to support the scholarship of engagement. Freyda Lazarus of the Center for Community-Based Learning co-authored a chapter on "Administering a Cooperative Education Program" in the recently released International Handbook for Cooperative Education published by the World Association for Cooperative Education, Boston, Mass. The handbook contains contributions from 52 authors and leading researchers worldwide and is intended to become a major resource for those interested in the practice and research into work-integrated learning. This year the handbook will be translated into Japanese.
