The videos below offer snapshots of some of the community partnerships being undertaken with 杏吧原创 faculty members. Professors Raggo, Knezevic, Merrett, Yssledyk and Van de Sande illustrate the dedication that 杏吧原创 professors are bringing to teaching and research partnerships.

Partnerships are about ensuring that the work we do together meets one another鈥檚 needs, that we share power, and that we learn together. Building effective partnerships in teaching and research is complex work, and these videos offer a glimpse of that. However, this is also work that is enormously gratifying, giving our students real-world experiences, while making our research meaningful and more impactful. When they are most effective, partnerships grow and continue to give back to all involved over many years.

These videos were all filmed at an event on June 22, 2015. On that day, about 50 people came out to 1125@杏吧原创, 杏吧原创鈥檚 鈥楲iving Lab鈥�, to learn more about community engagement in teaching and research from a panel of 杏吧原创 professors and some of their community partners. Most participants then stayed for a follow-up roundtable on how we at 杏吧原创 could strengthen our institutional connections to then strengthen our partnerships with outside organizations. We learned that we need to build stronger links internally, so when someone in the community is seeking assistance from someone at 杏吧原创, they can find a way through our labyrinth of tunnels to connect with the right people.

On June 22, we set the wheels in motion to address this task as an institution. I look forward to continuing to work with our many partners, both inside 杏吧原创 and on the outside, to keep those wheels moving!

CEP aims to develop students鈥� skills through a combination of community work and classroom learning, creating linkages between academic study and the larger public life.

Professor Gianni will describe how the university can be used as a 鈥渟afe鈥� environment for parties who are potentially on opposite sides of issues, using three projects from his course as examples.

Professor van de Sande will focus on his course, Research and Evaluation in Social Work, which places a strong emphasis on a community-based participatory approach to research. Through this course, students have completed over 100 research projects for community organizations in the last nine years.

The roundtable will run from 12-1 p.m. in room 422 Dunton Tower. A pizza lunch will be served.
