The Office of Community Engagement (OCE) has released the first video of the I AM USF & I AM ENGAGED Video Series. The purpose of the series is to illustrate what engaged scholarship is and how it impacts our students, faculty, and our community. OCE defines engaged scholarship as experiences where practitioners and scholars co-produce knowledge on important questions. A few examples of engaged scholarship are community outreach, service learning, clinical teaching, social causes, and community based participatory research.

You can view the first video now on OCE’s facebook page or on OCE’s YouTube Channel!  Easily link to either facebook or YouTube by clicking on the icons on the top of OCE’s Home Page or just by clicking here: OCE Home 

The first video features Dr. Cheryl Rodriguez, Chair of Africana Studies and Director of the Institute on Black Life. Dr. Rodriguez explains why her course designs are based on engaged scholarship. Check it out now by clicking here: I AM USF & I AM ENGAGED

The Office of Community Engagement hopes viewers will find the series inspirational and enlightening. OCE welcomes the opportunity to hear from all students, faculty, and community members about their experiences with civic engagement.
