We are delving into the latest insights into Community-Based Learning from Dr. Christine Cress and fellow PSU-affiliated authors.
We are exploring the Faculty Service Learning Guidebook, a "practical guide to designing, teaching, and coordinating service-learning courses, and for developing reciprocal community partnerships and community-based research through a lens of equity that addresses the endemic racial, social, economic, and environmental disparities across society." Participants receive a complimentary copy of the book!
Book Group Schedule: 🚩 Start Date: April 9th, 2024 🏁 End Date: June 4th, 2024 🕒 Time: Every other Tuesday from 3 - 4pm.
