Community Engagement Workshop Slated

The director of a network that evaluates early youth intervention education programs will be the guest at an April 12 campus workshop, “Community Engagement: Alignment of Needs & Capacity.” Maryann Corsello, associate director of positive youth development at Spurwink Services and director of REACH Collaborative, will attend the 10 a.m.-2 p.m. meeting in 107 Norman Smith Hall. The interactive Friday workshop will focus on creating community-university relationships, moving from idea to partnership and overcoming collaboration obstacles. It is sponsored by Community Engaged Research, Teaching and Service (CERTS), Center for Excellence in Teaching and Assessment (CETA), and a grant from American Association of Colleges and Universities.
