Colleges and career centers that want to provide their students with more information about job and internship opportunities in government face challenges, representatives from some of the schools in the Partnership for Public Service's Call to Serve program said at a conference last week.

The conference helped five Call to Serve schools that recently received $3,000 grants from the Partnership strategize about how to launch Making the Difference, an education campaign about public service. The grantees include the State University of New York at Albany; Brown University; California State University, Sacramento; Washington University in St. Louis; and Western Michigan University.
