Dear Friends & Colleagues:
The last five months have challenged traditional approaches to higher education, which has added a new sense of urgency to the importance of partnership to meet our shared goals.
Last spring, at the onset of COVID-19 in the United States, the team and I held a six-week listening session by way of Zoom to understand how to best help faculty and professional staff keep their commitments to community-based learning during this trying time. From this, we created a new summer webinar series, curated resources, and made our program and funding opportunities more accessible and flexible. Our commitment to urgency remains.
Based on these values, you will find everything you need in our annual kick-off packet to make the fall 2020 semester successful for you and your community engagement programs. Click through the tabs, imagine the possibilities, and, as always, let us know how we can best serve you.
While all of these experiences will find us connecting virtually from isolation, our goal is for you not to be alone in your work. Perhaps in 2021 we will see each other in person once again. Until then, we are only a click—or a phone call—away.
Be safe and be well –
J.R. Jamison, MAEd
