Students, faculty and staff at The Ohio State University and their community partners shared their work and how it benefits Ohioans during the Engaged Scholarship Symposium, presented by the Office of Outreach and Engagement earlier this month.
“We want to use the symposium as an opportunity to celebrate and shine a light on some of the great work that’s happening here at the university, but more importantly in collaboration with our partners here in central Ohio and throughout the state,” said Jason Reece, vice provost of urban research and community engagement. “We’ll get to see examples of community partnerships in action – how do they work and how are they effective at having an impact in our communities that we all serve?”
The symposium, held at the Longaberger Alumni House, began with a session in which graduate students displayed posters with graphics and details about their community partnerships. It also opened the day’s panel discussions with conversations between graduate students and their advisors.
