Faculty for the Engaged Campus is seeking teams from 20 diverse colleges and universities across the U.S. to participate in a charrette to facilitate development of innovative campus-wide mechanisms for preparing and supporting community-engaged faculty. If your institution is committed to furthering its investment in community-engaged scholarship through effective faculty development and would benefit from a focused, collaborative learning opportunity with a cadre of like-minded others, please consider sending a team to this action-oriented gathering. Your institution does not need to have a health professions education program or be a member of Community-Campus Partnerships for Health to apply.

A charrette is an intensely focused multi-day session that uses a collaborative approach to create realistic and achievable designs. Charrettes have mainly been used in architecture, urban planning and community design projects. In our case, we will convene campus teams, project leadership and expert advisors to collaboratively design innovative models of CES faculty development. Teams must include a minimum of three and a maximum of four members, with at least one of those being a senior faculty member with a proven track record of CES.
