Ohio State's University Outreach and Engagement Awards honor faculty, staff, students and community partners for outstanding achievement in producing engaged scholarship and community impact. Congratulations to this year's recipients!

Recipients will be recognized on April 13 at the event OSU Engages: Celebrating Engaged Scholarship at Ohio State.

The 2021 Engagement Scholarship Consortium conference will take place online, Sept. 13-15. Registration is now open. This years annual meeting will explore the theme of Creating Connections and Expanding Possibilities through an inclusive and engaging virtual conference. Ohio State faculty, staff and students qualify for ESC member pricing.

Nominations are being sought for future editions of the Provost's Discovery Themes Lecturer Program and the Patterson Land-Grant University Lecture.

The Provost's Discovery Themes Lecturer Program brings eminent authorities to Ohio State to address topics related to the Discovery Themes and to engage students, faculty, staff and members of the community in thoughtful examination of major issues of public concern.

The Patterson Lecture brings to campus annually a prominent figure to speak to the range of challenges facing land-grant institutions in the 21st century and beyond. The lecture challenges the university and community audience to continue to use their knowledge and resources and work together to solve world issues.

The International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE) invites proposals that present research on service-learning and community engagement in a wide range of contexts. We value the interdisciplinary nature of our field and honor the varied methodological and theoretical approaches to SLCE scholarship. Proposals must have a scholarly orientation in order to be accepted for presentation. Each proposal will be peer-reviewed and decisions about the program will be made by members of IARSLCEs Conference and Special Programming Committees.

Due to the virtual nature of the gathering, presentations will be limited to two online-friendly formats: Posters and Video Presentations.Aadditional details will be provided when scholars are notified about the status of their proposals (mid-August). If your proposal is accepted, you will be required to submit either the final digital poster or a brief, pre-recorded presentation in advance of the gathering (early-mid October).
