Register and join the Office of Outreach and Engagement for the Engaged Scholarship Symposium! On Nov. 1, this event will highlight faculty, staff, graduate students and community partners who are co-creating scholarship.

Through panel discussions and poster presentations, participants will learn more about the innovative and impactful work of community-engaged scholarship at Ohio State.

To support and promote high-impact engaged scholarship, the Office of Outreach and Engagement has instituted a process to certify programs of excellence in engaged scholarship. The certification process seeks to identify and certify projects annually that demonstrate excellence in community-engaged scholarship and meet the criteria of high-impact engaged scholarship. Congratulations to the 2024 Programs of Excellence in Engaged Scholarship!
