By Sheryl E. Taylor
The Center for Community Engagement & Service Learning (CCESL) at UHD is hosting its annual Community Partners Fair, 10 a.m. – noon on Tuesday, Aug. 27, in the Academic Building, Room A300.
“The annual Community Partners Fair brings together community organizations and UHD faculty, staff and students to facilitate conversations about joint projects and volunteering opportunities,” said Dr. Poonam Gulati, director of CCESL and associate professor of microbiology and biology. “Faculty can design service learning projects and staff and students can begin to formulate project ideas for staff-led and student-led grants. With over 40 organizations represented, there is a wide variety of areas for the UHD community to explore.”
This will be the only Community Partners Fair for the upcoming academic year. So, if you need ideas for the fall, spring or next summer, the time is now.
Students are encouraged to attend. At the Fair, sign-in sheets will be available for any faculty members who are offering credit for attendance or via eventbrite. QR codes are also available on posted flyers throughout campus.
