Campus Compact and the Academy of Community Engagement Scholarship (ACES) jointly host the Addressing Wicked Issues through Community-Engaged Scholarship initiative, which takes a deep dive into some of the most critical issues threatening our communities and explores how we—higher education community engagement professionals, practitioners, and scholars—can make a difference.
The 2024-2025 series will focus on youth and gun violence, exploring the context, root causes, and how higher education can respond through community-engaged research, community-engaged teaching and learning, anchor strategy & community partnerships, and student-led civic engagement.
The first webinar will be held this Wednesday, December 11th, at 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM (EST) – register today!
Review this message from Nicole Springer, Campus Compact, Senior Director of Professional Development and Scholarship & Chief Equity Officer:

To move the needle on complex and nuanced issues like gun violence, we must apply a variety of different perspectives and approaches.
