Community-Campus Partnership Support Spotlight: Round 1 Awardees
Highlighting two Community-Campus Partnership Support awardees for 2018
Earlier this year, the SHERC Community Engagement Core (CEC) established a funding mechanism called “Community-Campus Partnership Support,” or CCPS, which provides potential community and academic partners up to $5,000 per year to develop a partnership without the pressure of project outcomes or grant application deadlines. CCPS funds allow partners to meet face-to face at NAU and in the community or travel together to a conference as a means to identify common interests, explore collaborative ideas, and inspire potential projects. Visit the CCPS website for more info.
For this segment, we are spotlighting two partnerships that were awarded CCPS in Spring 2018 (Round 1). Read on!
