Are you a service-learning and community engagement practitioner?
A growing number of IARSLCE members identify as practitioners rather than researchers or faculty. IARSLCE would like to host a conversation with practitioners (those who identify as community engagement administrators and staff) to learn about their hopes for the association.  Join us on Thursday, August 15 at 1:30PM EDT for a call to discuss the role of the practitioner within service-learning and community engagement research.  Lina Dostilio (IARSLCE) and Maureen Curley (Campus Compact) will co-host a conversation in which attendees will discuss:
  • The particular experience and skill set that practitioners bring to research on service-learning and community engagement and the role of IARSLCE to leverage practitioner contribution to research. 
  • The capacities that practitioners would like to build for research on service-learning and community engagement and the role of IARSLCE in helping practitioners build those capacities. 
  • What areas of research practitioners consider to be leading edge and the opportunities for IARSLCE to encourage and foster that type of research. 
To RSVP and to receive call-in information, please email Tara Luparello (info@researchslce.org). Space is limited, so please secure your spot ASAP.
