Integrating Communities & Learners
The document discusses plans to launch a Community Engagement Hub at the University of Saskatchewan to facilitate collaboration between the university and community partners. The Hub aims to serve as a central portal for community engagement activities, advocate for such activities, and address barriers. It also intends to increase visibility of engagement opportunities and foster discussions among students, faculty, and communities. The Hub will provide matchmaking and brokering services and measure its success over 5 years by tracking growth in faculty and academic units involved in engagement, student experiences in communities, and community partner diversity.
