Higher Education Community Engagement in Rural Areas

This webinar will focus on the characteristics and challenges of higher education community engagement in rural areas. The Rural Alliance for Service Learning, with support of the NCRCRD, has engaged in a yearlong exploration of rural higher education community engagement that included collecting case studies, interviewing higher education service learning coordinators in rural areas, and compiling the collective wisdom of the RASL network members. We will focus on what we learned, and its implications for designing higher education community engagement that can successfully serve rural areas.
