Courses & Scholarship

Community-based learning (CBL) courses connect students to communities for the purpose of deepening learning. Community-engaged research engages faculty expertise with the expertise of community stakeholders in order to co-create new knowledge that serves a public good extending beyond the academic purpose of the work.

Bonner Center for Civic Engagement staff work with faculty seeking to create and fund CBL opportunities and pursue community-engaged research.
