There are several ways for Siena faculty, administrators, and staff to collaborate with ACE through the Community Engaged Faculty Academy (CEFA).The information below outlines several pathways for community engagement. Please contact Sarah Toledano with any questions. |
TEACH A COMMUNITY ENGAGED CLASS
Community engaged courses (classes with the ACOM attribute) help students and faculty become more involved in the Capital District while getting real world experience and research opportunities. Faculty can bring their own ideas or collaborate with ACE to teach a community engaged course. Creating an ACOM course is open to all faculty members - contact Sarah Toledano for more information.
