I hope the new year is off to a good start for everyone as we face multiple civic challenges as a University and as a nation. With an extended winter session and delayed start of the spring semester, consider taking this opportunity to develop community-engaged learning and research opportunities. As highlighted in previous CCE Faculty Newsletters, there are a growing number of ways in which faculty, students and community partners have managed to maintain virtual and online commitments to community engagement during these times. We can also reflect on our role and responsibilities as part of a public institution for establishing civil discourse through community-engaged learning and research.

I am here to work with you one-on-one to develop or modify your distance learning and in-person community-engaged teaching and research plans for spring 2021 and beyond. In addition, the CCE is maintaining a list of online and virtual service opportunities.

As always, the CCE staff and I are all here to facilitate and strengthen community connections for sustainable and mutually beneficial community-based learning and research, whether that experience is in person or through some other means.

The goal for each of the CCE newsletters is to share opportunities for professional development related to community-based teaching, research and scholarship. Feel free to reach out to me at any time to discuss your interest in these activities.
