Action Plan

Civic Capacity for Community and Social Change
Increase Number of Engaged Learning Sections Across Disciplines

Improve awareness and support for engaged learning classes ('E' designated) in order to increase the number of faculty teaching engaged learning sections. Through integration with the Action Plan: Increase Capacity for Community and Civic Focused Curriculum Across Disciplines, utilize the community of practice model to increase awareness of and resources for E designated courses. Add internships, campus opportunities and community partnerships that can be used for E designated courses to the newly developed repository in Action Plan: Develop and Expand Relationships With Community-Based Organizations and Maintain a Repository.
