Join us for this two-day, in-person event that includes a workshop, site visits with community partners, and a dinner panel to discuss community-engaged teaching and scholarship.

Generously hosted by Stillman College, this workshop is designed for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) that are currently preparing for the Elective Classification for Community Engagement or planning to do so in the future. The session will include an orientation to both the classification and reclassification frameworks, an explanation of additions and changes to the documentation framework, a review of the complete application, and a discussion of strategies that have been effective for successful applications as a means to demystify the application process.

Participants will meet with community organizations in Tuscaloosa and listen to a discussion panel of scholars and practitioners from HBCUs and PBIs on their experiences with community-engaged teaching and scholarship and the Elective Classification for Community Engagement.

About the Series

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.
