The Office for Outreach and Engagement and the Renée Crown Wellness Institute are dedicated to the campus’s mission of building partnerships with the local community. While the potential for impact is great, there is also risk that university-community partnerships can unintentionally generate harm and reproduce historical patterns of inequity. This micro-credential builds capacity across campus by providing a learning opportunity around how to design university-community partnerships that are oriented towards equity and implemented with a high level of integrity.
This micro-credential provides participants with skills that are broadly transferable to diverse disciplines and that will support them in leading collaborative and equity-oriented work in their respective fields. It will provide them with theoretical and practical tools and resources and skills to prepare them to engage in diverse forms of collaboration and address arising challenges and opportunities in ways that promote equity and justice.
It is imperative that our work force have a deep understanding of both collaboration and equity and justice. This micro-credential will provide learners with an applied learning opportunity that will signify to employers that they are dedicated to the work of developing equity-oriented practices in partnership with stakeholders.
Eligibility

At the current time the only people that will be eligible are graduate students who are cohort members in the Engaged Arts and Humanities Graduate Student Scholars. However, we are seeking to expand eligibility in the future and that may include staff as well as community members that are part of cohorts led by the Office for Outreach and Engagement and/or the Renee Crown Institute.
