Civic & Social Organization - Abington, Massachusetts, United States
The CETR team facilitates two main areas: (1) service-learning (S-L) courses, wherein students and faculty work with community partners to reinforce and build upon concepts learned in the classroom, and (2) engaged research where faculty, community partners and students collaboratively pursue projects related directly to the impact and practice of service and community engagement or research questions that are co-identified with broader social implications. CETR does this through multiple mechanisms including, but not limited to, strategic recognition of community-engaged teaching as a form of experiential learning, student leadership programs, informal and formal partnership processes, and multiple stakeholder professional development opportunities. We are housed in the Educational Innovation team of the Office of the Chancellor at Northeastern.
