Faculty-Student Teams Invited to Participate in Workshop Series/Small Grant Program

The Center for Service and Community Engagement seeks faculty and students (teams of two) to participate in a spring workshop series on community-engaged scholarship.

The workshop series will provide an overview of community-engaged scholarship and its overlap with Catholic, Jesuit identity. Following an introduction of key concepts, the workshops will focus on the topics of asset-based research partnerships, effective assessment and advocacy, and communication.

Each workshop will be accompanied by a luncheon with partnering organizations from the community who will share their goals and opportunities for collaboration. The invited community organizations will be topically focused based on their areas of outreach, such as positive youth development, employment training, and health and wellbeing.

Seed funding – up to five $1,000 small grants – will be offered to faculty-student partners who attend a minimum of two workshops and two luncheons and submit a proposal to work with one (or more) of the invited community organizations. Participation in the series will be limited to 20 people, or 10 faculty-student partnerships.
