Community-university partnerships are gaining momentum across the country. What challenges and opportunities do these partnerships face as they collaboratively explore solutions to local or global issues? How do you do it 'right'? Learn about tools and approaches--for universities and community partners--to advance relationships, mutual understanding, and positive outcomes for all participants.
Join us for a dialogue with national expert, Dr. Richard Kiely Senior Fellow, Office of Engagement Initiatives Cornell University.
He will discuss key concepts and practices from his new book, Community-Based Global Learning: The Theory and Practice of Ethical Engagement at Home and Abroad.

Learning Labs: A series exploring community and researcher partnerships for progress in real civic issues through our core issue areas.
Scholar-Activist Forums: A series developing a network between and amongst partners, researchers, and scholars by spotlighting diverse, innovative voices who are building more just, sustainable, and culturally vibrant communities.
