This session is co-hosted with Ohio Campus Compact and features two veteran scholars from our respective states. We especially encourage you to share it with grad students and early career faculty who are either interested in, or currently involved in, public teaching and scholarship. Seasoned public-engaged practitioners and scholars are also welcome!
