Engaged Communities Cohorts

Engaged Communities projects seek to co-create public goods based on community assets, needs and interests. EC projects are supported by EHN through Engaged Communities and Sustaining Engagement Grants. Projects from outside the College of Arts & Sciences are funded through the program by SU's Office of Academic Affairs and the Lender Center for Social Justice. Project teams comprised of faculty, staff, students, and community partners convene as cohorts four to five times a year to share resources, collectively problem-solve, align efforts, and provide mutual support.

The EHN's Engaged Courses program provides funding and cohort-based pedagogical and logistical support to faculty across departments who are integrating community-engaged learning into new and existing courses. These courses provide students opportunities to apply their scholarly knowledge and skills to serve the public good through collaborations with community partners.
