Rhonda Fitzgerald of the Sustained Dialogue Campus Network joined us for the Nashman Center's Conversations on Community Engaged Scholarship Series on Thursday, Oct 17. 
Community Engaged Courses are particularly fertile ground for student observations, reflections, and opinions that may be in conflict with those of other students or the instructor.
