Engaged Scholars Summer Institute

The Engaged Scholars Summer Institute offers a supportive, professional network in which early and mid-career scholars from throughout the University's five-campus system can explore and develop core skills needed for authentic and effective community-engaged scholarship. 

Offered annually, participants can expect feature presentations, panel discussions, practice sessions, and interactive exercises focused on the basics of building partnerships, making sense of diverse systems of knowledge and experience, and exploring how these knowledge systems are put into practice.

The Engaged Scholars Summer Institute is coordinated by the University's Office for Public Engagement and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute.

For more information, contact OPE Director for Academic Planning and Programs David Weerts.
