SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Next Steps for Improving Community Partner Compensation at U-M
DESCRIPTION:Community partners—spanning nonprofits\, government agencies\, small businesses\, and individuals with specialized expertise—play a vital role in supporting student learning\, contributing to faculty research\, and enhancing university programming. However\, their recognition and compensation across U-M is inconsistent\, due to U-M’s decentralized and complex administrative and financial systems. Throughout 2026\, units across campus have come together with local community partners to discuss these challenges and generate ideas and tools for improving compensation practices and processes at U-M. \nJoin us on December 4th to learn more about this important work. Participants at this virtual session will:\n\nHear insights from community-engaged faculty & staff\, financial administrators\, and community partners about how U-M units can make community partner compensation more transparent and accessible\;\n\nLearn about new tools\, resources\, and cross-unit collaborations with Procurement & Shared Services designed to improve community partner compensation practices at U-M\; and \n\nLearn ways to get involved and support this ongoing effort. \n\nThe session will include brief presentations about ongoing community partner compensation-related projects and a Q&A. Open to faculty\, staff\, and community members who are interested in learning more about community partner compensation efforts at U-M. \n\nSponsored by: Edward Ginsberg Center\, Poverty Solutions\, U-M School of Information\, University of Michigan Medical School Department of Learning Health Sciences\, Detroit Urban Research Center (URC)\, M-SHIELD\, Graham Sustainability Institute\, Taubman Public Design Corps\, UM-SEAS Tishman Center for Social Justice and the Environment\, and the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) with financial support from Democracy & Civic Empowerment Initiative. \n\n\n\nREGISTER: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/116628
