DU CCESL

Don’t miss our annual open house tomorrow! Whether you're a new or returning student or faculty member, come enjoy pizza, ice cream, and great company while discovering resources to support your community-engaged work or learn how to get started. Drop by when you can!

Many thanks to our panelists for sharing their experiences!

Day 2 of our Community-Engaged Teaching 101 (CET 101) training is in full swing! Today, participants are learning from a hybrid panel of faculty, students, and community partners. Their shared insights are providing valuable perspectives on community-engaged teaching methods.

Even though #1Day4DU is officially over, it's not too late to support to the ACE Grants Gift Fund! Your donation will empower students to lead community-engaged research and creative projects without financial barriers — like the ones showcased below:

Last week was a great experience at #compact24! We had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in thoughtful discussions, connect with other community-engaged leaders, and gain new insights. We're excited to apply what we've learned as we continue forward!

That wraps up day 1 at #compact24! During yesterday's "Dreaming and Scheming Together" interactive session, CCESL and @irise_du shared the successes and challenges in working collaboratively, and how to pursue opportunities to uplift, support, and reinforce one another’s work.

Today kicks off #compact24! CCESL Executive Director @CaraDiEnno helped kick it off at the @Campus_Compact TRUCEN meeting, sharing her community-engaged scholarly work with the Valverde Movement Project with collaborator @True_cost (Carrie Makarewicz). Stay tuned this week!
