When: Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023, 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
According to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching:
The purpose of community engagement is the partnership of college and university knowledge and resources with those of the public and private sectors to enrich scholarship, research, and creative activity; enhance curriculum, teaching and learning; prepare educated, engaged citizens; strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility; address critical societal issues; and contribute to the public good.
Join us as we explore the many ways UNLV is living up to this purpose, hear from colleagues actively engaged in this work, and connect with others to build or expand your community engagement campus network.
