What is Community-Engaged Teaching and Research?
The primary way the Community-Engaged Teaching and Research team supports university-community
partnerships is through their facilitation of Service-Learning (S-L). Service-Learning is a form of experiential
learning for students and a teaching tool for faculty that combines academics and service to meet educational
and community goals. Students and faculty work with community organizations, nonprofit groups, and
government agencies to reinforce and build upon concepts learned in the classroom. Our team also supports
faculty who research issues related to service and community engagement, or who pursue research questions
in collaboration with community members or organizations.
At the end of the 20-21 academic year, our team began to make the transition from the Office of City and
Community Engagement (CCE) to our new home on the Education Innovation team within the Office of the
Chancellor. This shift is in alignment with both our own program goals and the University’s Strategic Plan, and
we remain deeply connected to our CCE colleagues.
With three full-time staff members, our
team collaborates closely around each of
our focus areas:
• Dr. Becca Berkey, Director: team
management & oversight, network
relationships and professional
development, institutional
alignment.
• Madison Caro-Leverich, Assistant
Director: student leadership,
communications & evaluation, team
management & oversight.
• Chelsea Lauder, Program Manager:
faculty & partner engagement,
program development, collaboration
& events.
