The McKeen Center provides resources to students and faculty for incorporating community engagement components into courses and research. Community engagement can be a large or a small component of a course, and we are eager to help you think through possibilities. Examples of McKeen Center resources include:
- Individual consultation for specific courses
- Group conversations related to challenges and strategies in community-engaged teaching
- Mini-grants to support costs associated with courses, such as honoraria for guest speakers or funding to hire a student to assist with community-engagement components of a course
- Orientations for students to prepare them for engaging with communities
- Support for community-engaged independent studies, honors projects, and class projects, including the Ladd Community-Engaged Learning Fund, which provides funding for student community engagement.
