Description
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 non-profit organizations or governmental 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.
Led by Erica Yamamaura and Kent Koth. Facilitated by Kevin Holohan from the College of Education.
This Campus Compact webinar series is co-sponsored by Pew FTLC, Inclusion and Equity, and the Community Service Learning Center. Each session will be cohosted by GVSU Faculty and Staff.
Campus compact works to share from both research and practice to provide the best tools for building democracy through education and community partnerships. This includes high impact practices for student civic learning and support for the institutional systems, policy, and activities that reinforce that learning and advance the public purposes of higher education. Our coalition is focused on teaching, research, and institutional action in service of the public good.
