Community Engagement

Addressing the needs and interests of our diverse communities locally, statewide, nationally and internationally.

Engaged Scholarship - New Faculty Professional Development

Community Engagement as defined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching "describes the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity"  This type of collaboration cuts across teaching, research, and service and serves to benefit faculty teaching and research, students' learning, and community organizations.  This session will look at community engagement at UofL and how it can be utilized to enhance your teaching and research.

As a result of attending this session, participants will be able to:

  • Identify resources to help you get started on developing your community engagement and engaged scholarship agenda
  • Define and apply aspect of community engagement to your teaching and research
  • Explore opportunities for students' involvement in the community through teaching and research
