Led by Lauren Bell (Randolph-Macon College) and John Forren (Miami University), the workshop aims to provide a space where scholars and practitioners with a commitment to civic engagement can collaborate, build supportive relationships, and share practical guidance for leading community-engaged projects. The workshop will use a single-track format where presenters and participants will consistently engage with one another throughout the day. The workshop will culminate with NCAPSA’s brief annual business meeting and a celebratory reception.
