Outreach and Engaged Scholarship Symposium

Presenter Hub

Welcome to this year’s Outreach and Engaged Scholarship Symposium Presenter Information Hub. Please revisit this hub for symposium presenter information and updates. University Outreach appreciates your participation as a symposium presenter this year!

In keeping with its theme “Empowering Partnerships to Advance Beyond Boundaries,” the 2024 Symposium will:

• Emphasize the importance of mutually beneficial relationships and showcase successful partnerships that empower both academia and the community, fostering successful solutions and growth.
• Encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and boundary-spanning initiatives and explore how engaged scholarship transcends traditional academic silos, connecting diverse fields and perspectives.
• Encourage sharing of best practices throughout the lifespan (from inception to completion) of outreach and engagement partnerships.
• Encourage student STEM/STEAM communication, engagement, and outreach.

The symposium will also promote, recognize, support, and appreciate established and emerging engaged scholars, including community partners, students, staff, and faculty addressing critical needs in their work. The symposium allows attendees to gain perspectives on the impact of outreach and community-engaged scholarship. Furthermore, this is an opportunity to pause to examine what’s on the horizon for the future.
