Meetings focus on community as classroom

A series of colloquia with Grand Valley faculty and staff members, along with community partners will explore community as a classroom.

Participants will discuss community-based teaching, learning and research. The meetings will be held on Fridays in September-November and then resume in January-April.

The first meeting, “Dialogue for Reciprocity,” will be held September 19, from 10-11:30 a.m. in the Kirkhof Center, room 2270.

Participants will discover quick and effective pedagogical techniques, in- and out-of-class activities, and larger scale projects for preparing students to engage tension and explore the creative possibilities in difference.

The series is hosted by the Center for Scholarly and Creative Excellence, Community Service Learning Center, Division of Inclusion and Equity, Office for Community Engagement, Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center, University Libraries and Women’s Center.
