Dear Colleagues,
We are very excited to announce the launch of a new Faculty of Education Community Engagement website. This site is intended as a place to record, share and celebrate the incredible work the Faculty of Education and community partners do together. It is our hope that through storytelling we can communicate the value and depth of this engagement.
Share Your Story
A primary goal of the Community Engagement initiative is to learn about and represent the diverse Community Engagement activities of faculty that are locally, nationally, or internationally based, no matter the size, focus or goal. To that end, we invite all members of the faculty to tell their story of Community Engagement activity. Select your preferred option to Share Your Story:
- Community Engagement “tweet” – provide a brief, 140 character description of your project or research
- Community Engagement Narrative – share your narrative in a longer, open format
- Community Engagement Questionnaire – fill out a structured questionnaire
Get Involved
If you are interested in participating in the Community Engagement Working Group (CEWG), please join us at the monthly meeting held on the last Tuesday of the month (12-1:30pm). Check the event calendar on the CE website to confirm the date, time & room number.
We value your feedback and invite you to contact our communications team with any questions you have about the site.
As always, we appreciate every opportunity to connect with you, and welcome conversations around academic, professional, and community initiatives in education.
Sincerely,
Mark Edwards Ph.D.
