Carnegie in Action Workshop
June 12, 2024 at Elon University
The Carnegie Elective Classification for Community Engagement application provides institutions an opportunity for self-assessment, accountability for institutional mission and commitment to public purpose, and the legitimacy of processes, institutional alignment, community partnerships, and outcomes. Join us for this in-person event, which includes a workshop and a breakfast panel to discuss community-engaged teaching and scholarship.
NC Campus Engagement is partnering with ACE to host this workshop to assist campuses in preparing for the 2026 Elective Classification for Community Engagement. The session will demystify the application process by including an orientation to both the classification and reclassification frameworks, an explanation of additions and revisions to the documentation framework, including the civic learning and agency section, a review of the documentation framework and complete application, and a discussion of strategies that have been effective for successful applications.
Participants will meet with ACE staff, scholars, and practitioners to discuss their experiences and best practices with community-engaged teaching and scholarship.
