Join your colleagues and participate in the Campus Compact webinar "Place-Based Community Engagement in Higher Education" on Thursday, January 24, at 3:00 p.m. in the Civic and Community Engagement conference room, South Wing 130.

Widely known through the work of the Harlem Children’s Zone and the federal government’s Promise and Choice Neighborhood programs, geographically specific community-engagement initiatives have the potential to positively address the challenges of inequity and injustice within our communities. While we may be familiar with these types of place-based initiatives from nonprofit organizations or government grants, less is known about this type of strategy in higher education. This webinar will include a presentation of a recent national study and the facilitators’ recent book on place-based community engagement in higher education, followed by an exploration of several of the most salient topics arising from this promising new strategy.

Please let us know you’re coming or watch from your own desk.
