The Community Engagement Academy, established at UofL during the 2015-16 academic year, is a year-long series of sessions designed to help students learn foundational information about community engagement, as well as how to apply this knowledge in research and practice.  The academy includes sessions that allow students to work on projects throughout  the Louisville community, developing new relationships or building on existing ones.  The cohort is open to all academic disciplines and is highly interdisciplinary in nature.  The Community Engagement Academy is a collaborative program among the School of Interdisciplinary and Graduate Studies, and faculty and staff from around campus.
