About     /    Engaged College Initiative

Engaged College Initiative

Through the Engaged College Initiative, the Einhorn Center collaborates with undergraduate colleges and schools that want to make community-engaged learning (CEL) a central part of their curricular, co-curricular and research programs. Each collaboration is co-designed by the Einhorn Center and stakeholders across the college. Using a wealth of institutional CEL data and expert insights from the Einhorn Center and college teams, the partnerships are customized to build on each college’s unique strengths and priorities.

Through the initiative, the Einhorn Center provides three-year foundational block grants, consultations and training — with the ultimate goal of building a long-term collaborative relationship that advances and sustains CEL within the college.

 

Collaborating Colleges
College of Architecture, Art and Planning

The College of Architecture, Art and Planning will use the block grant to support new and existing opportunities for undergraduate students to work directly with faculty on engaged research, design initiatives and creative work. The grant will strengthen the college’s ability to advance timely, innovative work that is relevant to cities, communities and other stakeholders. To support this effort, the college has formed an Engaged AAP Advisory Committee with members representing faculty in each of the three departments.
