  Many thanks to the participants of this reflective and energizing meeting. The event gathered ten faculty/staff, ten representatives of local community organizations, and thirteen students.  Community organization staff in attendance partners represented much appreciated GW partners, including: the African Community Center, Capital Area Food Bank, Francis on the Hill, FRESHFARM FoodPrints, Life Pieces to Masterpieces, Little Friends for Peace, and Miriam's Kitchen.

The aim of these meetings is to include stakeholders of Community Engaged Scholarship courses (faculty, students, community partners) in the cycle of strategic planning, implementation of new plans, and assessment of progress. The event was funded by Transform Mid-Atlantic, in a project developed in partnership with our colleagues at American University (where a similar event was held earlier this semester).
