Civic Engagement Showcase seeks presenters
Feb 28, 2017
Proposals are being sought for the Civic Engagement Showcase, which will recognize the work of students, faculty and staff members who have collaborated with community partners for a project.
The showcase will be held April 13, from 3-5 p.m., in the DeVos Center, Hager-Lubbers Exhibition Hall.
Details about how to submit a proposal are online at www.gvsu.edu/community/; the deadline to submit a proposal is March 10.
Ruth Stegeman, assistant dean and director for Community Engagement, said Grand Valley’s Civic Action Plan will be unveiled at that time by President Thomas J. Haas and Provost Gayle R. Davis.
The action plan follows Haas’ signature on the Campus Compact Presidents’ Declaration, which includes commitments regarding the public purposes of higher education; it will also advance several university strategic objectives.
The plan is designed to prepare faculty members and students for community-based work, align the university’s initiatives with community interests, and reconfigure Grand Valley’s infrastructure to support civic and community engagement.
