Workshops are virtual, in-person, or hybrid active-learning experiences facilitated by top experts that enable higher education leaders to hone new skills, connect with peers, and put knowledge into action. Participants discuss their experiences, complete inquiry assignments, and develop plans that apply knowledge learned to challenges at their institutions. Depending on format, workshops can last anywhere from one to two day or four to eight weeks.

The Carnegie-in-Action workshop series centers the Carnegie Elective Classifications as a tool for people-centered systems change in higher education. In particular, the Elective Classification for Community Engagement provides institutions an opportunity to assess institutional principles and practices of public purpose to promote transformation through co-defining challenges, identifying promising practices, and co-creating goals and outcomes as counter-action (or resistance) to exploitative practices and distrust of democratic practices.

Each workshop will assist campuses preparing for the Community Engagement Classification, including (1) an orientation to both the classification and reclassification frameworks; (2) additions and changes to the documentation framework; (3) review of the documentation framework and complete application; and (4) strategies that have been effective for successful applications as a means to demystify the application process. Select workshops will include a Carnegie-in-Action site visit and a panel of local scholars and practitioners who practice community-engaged work as a means to deepen the conversation of institutional best practices.
