| | | Dear Friends,
What an invigorating autumn we are having! By the time you receive this newsletter we will have had our inaugural JEDI-CCE Institute! We can't wait to share some of the takeaways from this event at which teams from 14 college campuses in our network came together to create action plans to advance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion at the intersection of civic and community engagement on their campuses. We are also thrilled that our annual award ceremony will take place in person on December 13th. These awards recognize excellence in service-learning and civic engagement work by student, faculty, administrative and community leaders. The honorees show by example the kind of amazing work that can be done by dedicated people! Let us know what's on your mind, what you're interested in convening about, and how we can continue to serve you in your work fulfilling the public purposes of higher education. In Service, The TMA Team |
