From Transaction to Transformation is a professional development learning journey for community-engaged leaders and learners. The ten-minute module offers a captivating, interactive roadmap for conducting public engagement and features the wisdom and talents of some of the University's most successful engagement scholars and practitioners. You learn by making scenario-based decisions along the way. This is not a test, so relax, settle back, and let the scholar coaches be your guides.
From Transaction to Transformation was developed by the Office for Public Engagement with assistance from University and community partners. Special thanks to John Akre, Sara Axtell, Andy Furco, Rachel Hardeman, Craig Hassel, Monica Siems McKay, Beth Peloff, Leo Rickertsen, and Makeda Zulu.
