"Convened from May 13-15, 2020 on the IUPUI campus, the Research Academy is an intense, interactive 3-day workshop designed to develop research, assessment, and evaluation skills, learn about methods, and develop a research and/or assessment project on high impact practices or other engaged learning. Convened since 2009, the Research Academy historically focused on service learning research.  However, beginning in 2019 the Research Academy has expanded its scope to cover other types of high impact practices and engaged learning (e.g., themed learning communities, ePortfolios, global engagement)."

Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life and Tulane University has announced their 2020 National Gathering will be held October 9-11 in New Orleans, less than one month before the national Presidential election. The two organizations will work with local institutions and leaders in organizing this dynamic national conference. 
"The Imagining America (IA) Gathering is an annual convening of public scholars, artists, students, designers, and leaders who are addressing critical public issues through creative cultural organizing, collaborative research, and engaged learning. The conference offers participants a three-day immersive experience in which to connect, dialogue, learn, and strategize around the ways to build new knowledge and inspire collective imagination towards transformative education and action.
New Orleans will serve as a powerful context in which to showcase local and global work around this year’s Gathering themes of displacement and movements."

Published on Leave a comment on Conference Presentation Opportunity for Students
This year, the Engagement Scholarship Consortium 2020 Conference Planning Committee is particularly encouraging student participation in the conference: September 15-16, 2020, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
"Students are invited to submit a proposal for a poster to be presented at the 2020 conference, detailing impactful community engagement through research or service work. Delivering a poster at an international conference is a unique academic experience and is an excellent addition to a résumé or graduate school application."
Please circulate this call for posters to students whose experiences support the conference's theme of "Envisioning Engaged Scholarship" and can help us explore our many diverse futures together.

The Nashman Center recently shared a white paper with the GW faculty-led strategic planning committee on High-Impact Research. This committee is one of four, who will draft strategic planning reports to guide GW for the next five years toward President LeBlanc's vision for: world-class faculty, high-quality undergraduate education, distinguished and distinctive graduate education, and high-impact research. https://strategicplan.gwu.edu

The white paper, "Recognizing, Incentivizing, and Rewarding Community-Engaged Scholarship" was reviewed by the members of the High-Impact Research faculty committee. It defines community-engaged scholarship, identifies the challenges to faculty doing this work in the context of departments that favor more traditional approaches to academic work, and provides a list of recommendations. It is a synthesis of the year-long discussions of the 2018 Nashman Center Faculty Learning Community on Recognizing Community-Engaged Scholarship in Promotion and Tenure, at George Washington University.

If you would like to add your name in support of the sentiments expressed in the paper, please write Wendy Wagner: wagnerw@gwu.edu.
