Absolutely! There are many ways for faculty to get involved, such as course implementation, not-for-credit student participation, research, and academic credentials.
Please refer to our student resources.
Please refer to our partner resources.
The community engagement team is currently in the process of developing an intake form that will allow partners to provide information regarding their partnership needs, so that we can best support their relationship with faculty and staff. In the meantime, questions regarding resource support should be directed to the community engagement team directly.
Community engaged learning refers to the pedagogical process of learning through experience in and with our local, regional, national, and international communities. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s commits to community engaged learning that results in equitable, reciprocal, and mutually beneficial partnerships.
Refer to the ways to get involved to see some examples of ways that community engagement has been incorporated by Faculty members.
Please refer to the community engagement course supports available to faculty and staff to determine whether you feel prepared to assist in a community engagement reciprocal relationship.
Community engagement refers to a reciprocal relationship with a partner; it is mutually-beneficial. Community service refers to work that does engage with a community, although it usually favours the experience of one party (i.e. a student teacher observing a classroom).
Please see our guiding principles and framework for community engagement at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s.
Please visit our events page to see upcoming opportunities for you to get involved.
