2022 Engaged Scholarship Symposium

UMass Dartmouth Clair T. Carney Library, Grand Reading Room, Dartmouth, MA, United States

UMass Dartmouth, in partnership with Campus Compact, invites you to please join the 2022 Engaged Scholarship Symposium at the UMass Dartmouth, Clair T. Carney Library, Grand Reading Room.   Lunch will be served in person. Registration also includes a virtual option. Historically, higher education has been criticized for hiding in the Ivory Tower – isolating ourselves from our communities and producing irrelevant research. The Engaged Scholarship Symposium is designed to celebrate the usefulness of scholarship in shaping policy and enriching our communities. Participants will be exposed to strategies for involving students in active teaching, research and examples of engaged scholarship across many disciplines. The program is attached for your review. Andrew Hoffman, the keynote, will discuss his new book “The Engaged Scholar: Expanding the Impact of Academic Research in Today’s World.”  Following the keynote, four UMass Dartmouth faculty will present their engaged scholarship. This event is free, but registration is required. You may register at:  https://es-symposium-2022.eventbrite.com/

Campus Compact VISTA Host Site Info Session

Online

With a broad vision of higher education as social change agents and a belief that addressing issues like poverty is essential to the vision of the public purpose of higher education, the Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA Program seeks to activate higher education institutions and their partners to work together to make an impact on poverty on their campuses and in their communities. Our AmeriCorps VISTA program places AmeriCorps members for one-year terms of service on campuses and/or with their community partners to build capacity for high impact programs, organizational approaches, and collective impact efforts that improve outcomes for low-income college students, low-income K-12 students, and low-income community members across the United States. Learn more about hosting a Campus Compact AmeriCorps member who will support your anti-poverty initiatives that serve low-income students on campus or low-income individuals in local communities.
