This year’s Annual Community-Based Learning Faculty Summer Workshop includes a one-day, in-person workshop which will focus on an Engagement of Hope framework. The framework calls attendees to re-center community relationships through five themes including: the common good, collaborative courage, community-centeredness, individual goodness and unjust structure challenges.
The workshop will include continental breakfast, lunch, keynote, presentations, interactive discussion and reflection, an experiential tour with community agencies and an optional social hour with potential community partners. Participants who complete the in-person workshop, pre-reading of an article, post-workshop reflection activity and an assessment survey will receive a stipend of $500.00. Priority will be given to those who have not participated in this summer workshop in previous years.
