Resources and channels for faculty and staff to get involved in community engagement work.
Faculty/Staff
Description of Opportunities:
As a part of SCI-Arc's larger DEI mission, one main objective is to create mutually beneficial partnerships with greater Los Angeles County. SCI-Arc faculty and staff can become involved with community engagement via pathways such as curricular engagement and community-based research. Resources like workshops and consultations are available to faculty and staff in the processes of learning how to build community-based programming and creating partnerships with local organizations. Potential for collaboration on public programs and speaking engagements are also available as an area of support.
