The Engagement Scholarship Consortium 2018 meeting will work collaboratively to build strong university-community partnerships anchored in the rigor of scholarship and help build community capacity. The gathering aims to promote research and study of the impacts of community-campus partnerships, disseminate research (original, basic and applied) from a wide variety of disciplines on the impact of campus-community partnerships, discuss and share questions, problems, issues, information and theories, and advance the study of campus-community partnerships and educate the public on effective programs for community change.
