CORE Series for Faculty

urbanCORE, UNC Charlotte's hub for engaged scholarship, welcomes faculty interested in our Community-Oriented Research Engagement (CORE) series. 

We are working with the Office of School and Community Partnerships in the Cato College of Education to offer workshops, panels, brown bags, and other events to support those who do the multifaceted work of community engagement. 

Whether you are curious about how community engagement works, or a veteran, community-engaged scholar, we invite you to attend!

September 19: Co-Producing Solutions with Community Partners
 
Are you curious about community-engaged research? If so, get a snapshot from Nadia Anderson and Colleen Hammelman, two faculty members who worked on a community-engaged project addressing food insecurity in the West Boulevard corridor.
 
This pilot for the Community Innovation Incubator resulted in plans for two food co-ops that will offer fresh produce, quality meat, and pantry items as well as a community kitchen and nutritional programming. . They will also address their work conducted through other community-campus partnerships. Refreshments will be provided.
 
TIME AND LOCATION
Professors Anderson and Hammelman will present their work and a  Q & A session on September 19 from 2 p.m. -3 p.m., at Sycamore Hall, Room 306.
