Call for courses that engage the Albion community

By Faculty and Staff

Hello all! Just sending a gentle reminder that there is still time to submit your course to be a part of the Community Engaged Learning catalog! I am looking to document the courses that offer learning opportunities that directly engage the Albion community. Examples of this type of work include, but are not limited to: volunteering and service projects, civic engagement projects, visiting historical artifacts, community research projects, etc. If you offer a course that may fit this scope, please answer this Google Form to provide more information for the catalog. All courses will need to be submitted by October 20th at the latest.

 

If you have any questions about the form or the project, please feel free to reach out to me!
