Elevating Engaged Scholarship: Strategies for Individuals and Academic Units: Feb.18, 9 to 10:30 A.M., MBSC Dodge Room. In her campus keynote, Doberneck will address 1) strategies to elevate engaged scholarship and community engagement within RPT and annual review files, 2) how academic leaders can support these efforts, and 3) common barriers and misconceptions of engaged scholarship with specific examples for addressing those challenges at the individual and unit level.
Engaged Scholarship and Community Engagement in RPT: Feb. 18, 1 to 2:30 P.M., MBSC Dodge Room. In her workshop, Doberneck will provide examples of guidelines and policies that specifically recognize engaged scholarship, as well as a toolkit to help committees and academic leaders evaluate engaged scholarship in the files they review. Participants should bring their current RPT policies and any evaluation criteria/rubrics used by review committees.
