Students as well as faculty and staff members are invited to submit proposals for oral (podium) and poster presentationsat Barry's sixth annual Community Engagement Symposium. The submission deadline is February 1.
The theme of thesymposium is "Bringing Learning to Life through Community Engagement."
Community engagement includes experiential learning practices such as service-learning, community-based research, fieldwork, study abroad, capstones, and internships.
Proposals should address the theme of the symposium and identify the experiential learning practice that was implemented. Successful proposals will specify the course or co-curricular project, the social or community issue addressed, the related activities undertaken, and the actual learning outcomes. Proposals should also emphasize how learning "came to life" - that is, how learning was enhanced or enriched and made meaningful for the student.
Scheduled for March 27, the 2019 symposium will highlight student learning outcomes of community engagement practices in the context of Barry's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) titled "Fostering Personal and Social Responsibility through Experiential Learning."
The symposium proposal form may be downloaded from CEMS - the Community Engagement Management System.
