We will dedicate our first gathering to building community among participants, as this group will become a network of supporters and champions that will sustain our work into the future.  Participants will reflect on what is motivating them to undertake community-engaged work and identify the gifts, talents, skills, and relationships that will serve as a foundation upon which to build new engaged teaching competencies. 

Outcomes/Takeaways:

• Start building relationships of trust and support among FLC participants
• Clarify individual motivations, gifts, skills, and relationships that will support community-engaged work
