Join us for an event designed to unite community organizations and Saint Mary's College faculty for potential partnerships.  Our activities include:

• 12:00 noon - 1:00pm: Community Partners meet with CILSA staff to discuss curricular and co-curricular options for community engagement (CE) activities (Community Partners only)
• 1:00pm - 1:45pm: Community Partners share their organization information with faculty 
• 1:45pm - 2:30pm: Faculty share their course information with Community Partners

What can Community Partners do to prepare for the event:

• Watch this CILSA video about conceptualizing service-learning and collaborative-based research projects
• Talk with your staff about the video and draft a list of potential projects to bring to the event
• Bring literature about your organization and/or potential projects

What can faculty do to prepare for the event:

• Bring a sample syllabus from your exising CE course or course you are developing
• Bring write-ups and/or samples of student CE experiences or projects
• Bring a list of what types of projects you are looking for so you can best determine if the partner is a match for you
