About the Community Engagement @ Michigan Series
Ginsberg’s Community Engagement @ Michigan Series for faculty and staff addresses critical topics in community-engaged teaching and learning, research, scholarship, and program/project development. Open to Faculty, Admin/Staff, and Postdocs. Some sessions open to Graduate Students.

ABOUT THIS EVENT
Project management skills are essential for the success of community-engaged projects, yet formal instruction of these skills is often not included in the preparation that students receive for community-engaged assignments, research, and projects. In this workshop for faculty and staff, participants will learn about prerequisite project management skills that students need to know before they enter into community-engaged projects. From effective communication strategies to project onboarding templates, we’ll identify pedagogical strategies for teaching these key skills to students, improving coordination with community stakeholders, and supporting the continued development of students' project management skills as a community-engaged project unfolds. Guest speakers Bri Christy (Community Technical Assistance Collaborative at Ginsberg Center) and Caitlin Posillico (LSA Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences) will highlight practices for students in course and program-based projects, showing how traditional project management techniques can be adapted for these contexts.
