Prepared for the Bonner Fall Directors Meeting by Bonner Foundation staff. In this final session, we will discuss campus-wide tracking of civic and community engagement and community engaged learning. George Luc, Founder of GivePulse, will join us. As part of this, we will especially focus on how to put in place tracking mechanisms and inventories of community engaged learning and course connections. Campus staff will be invited to share their approaches, platforms, learning, and other insights. As part of this we will discuss aspects of the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification and its link to the GivePulse system.
