The purpose of this study is to explore the memorable events community partners experience when working with college students in a university/community collaboration. Twenty community members employed by nonprofit agencies, who have partnered with the university for varying lengths of time, participated in telephone interviews. Participants identified memorable events related to students' motivation to work with clients and complete tasks. They cited long-term gain for both students and nonprofit organizations as also creating lasting memories, leading to emotions of pride and joy and feelings of being pleased and rewarded. Identifying memorable events provides a window into what motivates community partners to continue collaborating with the university.
