For 150 years, CU Boulder faculty members, students and staff members have partnered with Colorado communities to pursue public and community-engaged scholarship that responds to local priorities, co-creates knowledge and drives positive impact. Today, that tradition continues—across  the nation and around the world—through partnerships grounded in commitment, curiosity and respect.  

The Office for Public and Community-Engaged Scholarship (PACES)–with support from the Office of the Chancellor and in partnership with the Research and Innovation Office, the Office for Faculty Affairs, Service Learning and Impact in Community Engagementand the Center for Teaching and Learning–is bringing that energy together for CU Boulder’s first-ever Community Engagement Week.  

Please join us for three days of sharing engaged-teaching, learning, creative work, and research making connections and building skills with many of CU Boulder's own, community partners, and featuring national experts, Dr. Diane Doberneck and Dr. Patti Clayton.
