The September 5th, Conversation on Community Engaged Scholarship focused on recent research findings, student surveys, and student service data.

The presentation slides from this event are available here.

The Periscope video is available here.

Wendy Wagner, the Nashman Center's director of community engaged scholarship, presented these findings and facilitated a conversation about uses of the data and new lines of inquiry for the coming year.

We are happy to present/discuss specific findings with your department faculty as well. Contact wagnerw@gwu.edu to schedule a department presentation.

While many topics arose, important themes were: cost of transportation to service sites, future data gathering and reporting, and further mining of the data from the MSL research study.

On Wednesday, March 26, the Nashman Center hosted our March Breakfast on Community Engaged Scholarship at Gelman Library! Doctor Maranda Ward, a Nashman Affiliated Faculty member and Professor at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, presented and led a robust discussion.

The presentation focused on historic inequality in D.C. that has perpetuated to this day and the ways that GW faculty and students can interact with organizations fighting for justice in an appropriate way - by lifting up communities in the areas where they are strong. Thank you to everyone who came out for this enlightening conversation.

If you missed the event or want a chance to review what was discussed today check out the PowerPoint from Dr. Ward here.

Wednesday, November 14th, Gelman Library Room 101

We can always learn and develop our knowledge to prevent sexual harassment from arising in any kind of work or social setting. Unfortunately, the University encounters alarming incidents of service learning students receiving unwanted advances from the clients of community organizations the students were serving with. The context of the service relationship makes the problem of sexual harassment particularly challenging. How do we prepare our students and how do we respond?

Christina Franzino, Assistant Director for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, facilitated the conversation in GW’s Title IX Office.

Please encourage colleagues to join in on future conversations and encourage open, ongoing discussions about how to build a safe space for everyone, regardless of their role.

Please contact titleix@gwu.edu with any concerns or refer to Title IX's training calendar and other resources on their website to find more information about sexual assault, harassment, and prevention efforts.
