    Community Connectors: Charlene Brenner

    You might say that community engagement is at the heart of everything that I do with STEAM. Every component of my work is centered on relationship and community building, both internally and externally to the university. My community-engaged work spans the gamut, from developing community outreach programs that share the work of Ohio State faculty, staff, and students with the larger Columbus community to sustained and deeper efforts working collaboratively with community partners in developing jointly designed initiatives that address mutually defined needs, interests, and goals marked by integrated community-centered research efforts that center community needs within the research. At STEAM, we are also working to develop community engaged scholarship models that create, support, and sustain integrated community-centered, community-focused scholarship and education within our Ohio State efforts.
