  Via Zoom: https://unf.zoom.us/j/92428846727

   

  In this webinar, we will provide general information as well as discuss our long-standing and most established programs: The Community Scholars Program (CSP) and our Community-Engaged Research Fellowship (CER), both of which are geared toward the design, implementation, and assessing the impact of high-quality community-based transformational learning opportunities. The first half of this session will offer presentations by faculty and staff who have participated in one or more of our programs. These panelists will also be available for questions from the audience. In the latter-half of our session, we will touch on other ways faculty have historically been involved in our center through our University-Wide Assessment and our Community-Based Learning Attitudes Survey Project. This webinar will be hosted by Dr. Alarie Gibbs, Curricular Coordinator for the Center for Community-Based Learning and co-hosted by our Assistant Director, Justin Sipes.
