Description
Demonstrating the impact of community-engaged learning on faculty/staff, students, and community partners can be a challenge for many campuses. This session will share strategies for collecting and sharing the important data and stories of community-engaged learning as a way of demonstrating impact, elevating scholarship, and gaining trust and support both on and off campus. Presenters will share how this work has strengthened relationships and gained supporters and funders. This report has collected a decade of data and stories presented in annual reports. Presenters will also share high-level trends that have emerged from this process as well.
