Ginsberg Center’s Community Engagement @ Michigan Series 2024-2025

Ginsberg’s Community Engagement @ Michigan Series for faculty and staff addresses critical topics in community-engaged teaching and learning, research, scholarship, and program/project development.

Participants engage with strategies and approaches to develop and sustain community partnerships for research & teaching, prepare students to work with communities, emphasize civic learning across disciplines, develop and refine course-based and program curriculum, and more. 

Offered in Fall and Winter terms. Open to Faculty, Admin/Staff, and Postdocs. Some sessions open to Graduate Students. See workshop descriptions for details.

With a network of over 300+ community partners across Washtenaw County and Southeast Michigan, the Edward Ginsberg Center works to connect local communities with U-M courses, researchers, internships and other community-engaged initiatives. In this session, Ginsberg Center staff will share information about current conditions in Washtenaw County and how these conditions shape what local community partners are looking for from U-M. We’ll discuss current trends in community partner priorities and share examples of U-M research, courses, and projects that have been designed to respond to those priorities. Whether you’re new to Michigan or looking for a new community partner, join us for this important orientation to community engagement in Washtenaw County!
