Faculty, staff invited to take part in engagement learning opportunities

Faculty and staff whose work supports the university’s engagement efforts are invited to facilitate connections with higher education peers during two virtual sessions offered by the Engagement Scholarship Consortium.

These are informal conversations for sharing successes as well as challenges, and to get advice or feedback. The dates, times and topics are:

Feb. 28, 2025, 2-3 p.m. ET — Compensating Community Partners

Compensating community partners is an ongoing challenge in many higher education institutions due to slow and complicated administrative processes. In this session, leaders can share both institutional and specific strategies that they have tried in getting community partners compensated for their contributions. Registration is available online.
 

April 25, 2025, 2-3 p.m. ET — Metrics: How Are You Documenting Impact of Community-Engaged Scholarship?

The white whale for engagement leaders is how to document and share the impact of the outstanding community-engaged scholarship our institutions produce in collaboration with community partners. This session will help attendees talk with other leaders about the metrics and outcomes being used to demonstrate the impact of this work. Registration is available online.
