Awards: The Thomas Ehrlich Faculty Award for Service-Learning
Campus Compact recognizes one faculty member each year for exemplary leadership in advancing the civic learning of students, including public scholarship, building campus commitment to service-learning and civic engagement, and fostering reciprocal community partnerships.

University of Massachusetts- Boston
Boston, Massachusetts
At the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston), Dr. Giles has made major contributions to the campus as both a member of the faculty and a resource for the advancement of community service and service-learning. This work caps 30 years of involvement in developing campus-based service and service-learning across the nation.
At UMass Boston’s Graduate College of Education, Dr. Giles has enhanced students’ knowledge of and involvement in service-learning by adding required and elective coursework on service-learning to the curriculum. Dr. Giles is also the faculty co-chair of the university’s Service-Learning Advisory Committee, which works closely with the Office of Service-Learning and Community Outreach. In addition, he contributes to the New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE), where he consults regularly as a senior associate.
Dr. Giles has a long history of working to advance service-learning as a key pedagogy. At Cornell he chaired the committee that established the university’s Public Service Center, and at Vanderbilt he was an active member of the Service-Learning Task Force, where he helped to develop the position of Assistant Provost for Service-Learning.
Dr. Giles has also made an invaluable contribution to Massachusetts Campus Compact (MACC). MACC executive director Barbara Canyes notes that he has been an “active proponent and counselor, collaborating on innovative ventures for our annual conferences; advising, mentoring, and training MACC VISTA members; and serving as a sounding board and consultant for the development of a comprehensive vision for higher education service in Massachusetts and beyond.”
Dr. Giles has authored or co-authored three books, and 19 articles and book chapters, and 13 papers; in addition, he has given more than 80 conference presentations on service-learning. Dr. Giles has also worked with the National Society for Experimental Education alongside colleague and co-recipient Janet Eyler, publishing research agendas on strategies for service-learning, as well as special issues for the Michigan Journal of Community Service-Learning.
