Rutgers University, Camden

Student/Faculty Collaborative Project

"Civil Society Census" of Camden is the most recent student and faculty collaborative project. Professor Jon Van Til works with students each year who do studies of leadership and participation in Camden communities. For example, in 1999, he and his students studied the Fettersville and Fairview neighborhoods. The paper was presented by two of the student authors, Suzanne Brennan and Twana Cisse, and Professor Van Til at the ARNOVA conference in November 2000 in New Orleans, and is titled "Associations as Assets in the Urban Community: A Study of Two Inner-City Neighborhoods in Camden." The paper is co-authored with five Rutgers undergraduates: Leroy Gould, Meghan Murtha, Suzanne Brennan, Twana Cisse, and Claude Wallace.
