|
|
Dear Colleagues,
When the Office of Outreach and Engagement started its monthly newsletter, the goal was to raise awareness of the impactful work done by our faculty and staff, share resources and facilitate connections across the university. I hope we have been able to accomplish this and that you have found the content helpful in your day-to-day work. This month, youll see much of same!
I want to specifically draw your attention to the awards being offered by the Engagement Scholarship Consortium (ESC). The 2023 conference will be held in Michigan and there are a number of opportunities to submit your work for recognition and/or presentation. More information on grants from ESC will be coming soon.
Beginning next month, well start highlighting how we are focusing on the academic plan with specific strategies being developed. Im looking forward to sharing more of this with you and engaging you in this work.
Sincerely,
Ryan Schmiesing
Senior Vice Provost, External Engagement
