Michigan State University’s Community-Engaged Learning Index

Monday, July 14th at 2:00 PM ET (1:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM MT / 11:00 AM PT)

Join us to learn more about the Community Engaged Learning Index, developed by the Center for Community Engaged Learning at Michigan State University. Through this innovative approach, MSU was awarded Campus Compact’s new Excellence in Civic & Community Engagement Programming Award, which recognizes the many forms that effective on-campus civic and community engagement can take to address areas of need and make deep and long-lasting positive change.

The Community Engaged Learning Index is a powerful tool that not only tracks and evaluates community engaged learning activities across campus but also amplifies their positive impact. It was created to meet the university’s need to track data on community-engaged learning classroom and beyond activities. Its goal is to highlight and maximize the the value of community-engaged learning efforts by Michigan State University students, faculty, staff, and community partners, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and underscoring the social contributions of the University’s community. 

In this webinar you will hear more about the data and how it highlights the importance and outcomes of community-engaged learning initiatives, creating a robust narrative of MSU's dedication to social responsibility and civic engagement and serving as a key resource for promoting long-term partnerships and accountability in community engagement.
