7. Sample Expectations
The Bonner Program is rooted in relationship
– whether it’s peer-to-peer or out in the
community. Bonner is not just about
completing hours and your commitment to
the program should reflect that. Bonner
Scholars are expected to:
• Engage in dialogue and activities during class
meetings and retreats
• Demonstrate respect for the opinions and
cultures of others
• Ask questions when you need help and meet
with Bonner staff in a timely manner about any
issues or concerns
• Meet deadlines for documentation, including
CLAs and hour logs
• Support and encourage fellow Bonners
8. Enforced Policies
CLAsshould be turned in within one week of starting their
site.
Weekly/Monthly Hour Logs: Students should be
expected to complete an average weekly and monthly total of
hours. If students fall behind this guideline, you should ask to
meet with them.
Policies for Late/Missing Hour Logs: Have
a written policy for handling students who submit late or missing
hours.
9. Training and Logging Hours
Train students to write effective CLAs (or
update their positions) and use BWBRS. This should take place at the beginning
of the program/semester. Some do it during Orientation, but it is helpful to do it
when the student can actually log on!
Use “Making CLA’s Great” and the sample one-pagers
Students should be asked to log hours on
a consistent basis — weekly!
This will get students in a habit of logging hours and will start a productive
pattern.
