Community engagement professionals can play important roles in facilitating faculty and student engagement with local community partners while holding longer-term connections and threads of impact. The facilitator will share how a centralized office for curricular and co-curricular engagement at a rural residential college is working to connect individual academic civic engagement course objectives and disciplines with long-term community partnerships. This roundtable will engage in critical questions for community-engagement professionals working with faculty on course design and community connection: How can we avoid all-or-nothing approaches? What structures can we build for cumulative impact over time? What makes it possible for community-engagement practitioners to advance the ethical frameworks of mutual benefit and co-creation when faculty make final decisions in course design?
