We will share successes and challenges and identify potential community partnerships that can enrich the educational experience for our students. Faculty members will discuss components of design and implementation of successful projects that enhance student learning outcomes, address real-world challenges and contribute positively to our local communities. Join us to discover innovative ways to bridge the gap between classroom theory and practical application, fostering a more engaged student body.
