Cottonwood Room, K-State Student Union
Kansas State University
The Center for Engagement and Community Development (CECD) and Kansas Campus Compact are bringing together a diverse group of K-State faculty to discuss their engaged work with significant issues facing Kansans. Faculty from across campus will discuss their engaged research and engaged teaching through service learning and experiential learning. Some of the topics presented will include: promoting healthy behaviors, expanding public engagement in civil dialog, preserving historic neighborhoods, creating collaborative learning centers with seniors, and improving water quality through community partnerships.
This symposium is designed to highlight the engaged work happening at K-State, foster dialog among participants, and generate potential new ways of conceiving and conducting research and teaching. Participants will also hear about the next round of engagement incentive grants offered through the Center for Engagement and Community Development.
The symposium is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available.
