Hello, Campus Communicators,

 

The Office of Community Engagement and Outreach has designated travel funds for two faculty to attend a national engagement scholarship conference.  Associate Dean Katherine Ambroziak here in my college is on the Academic Outreach and Engagement Council and asks if you can share with your faculty, as possible.  If you or your faculty have questions, please see the contact info below.

 

Thank you.
