Join us on April 4 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Roundhouse event space (Allard Hall) for a discussion on community-engaged scholarship (CES).

Scholarship in institutions of higher education is evolving, with researchers demonstrating an increased interest in partnering with larger external communities. This sharing of knowledge and resources in scholarship creation is beneficial to the institution, the community partner and most importantly, the student.

In this session, you will hear from a panel of community members representing business, civic and cultural perspectives, as well as from past community engaged scholarship researchers. Gain insight as they share their experiences and speak to the possibilities and opportunities for mutually beneficial outcomes. You can attend in-person OR virtually.

Panelists:

  • Puneeta McBryan, executive director, Downtown Business Association, Edmonton
  • Scott McKeen, past city councillor, City of Edmonton
  • Sarah Pocklington, executive director, Citadel Theatre
  • Dr. Rita Dhungel, assistant professor, University of the Fraser Valley, and former MacEwan University faculty member
