Outstanding Community Partners

We are currently accepting nominations for the Hiltunen Award, Wood Award, and Community Engagement Professional Award, due on December 31, 2022.

Community-Engaged Alliance recognizes the incredible dedication and work that community partners put into co-educating students. We recognize that whether we talk about community service, service-learning, community-based research, or any other form of community engagement, institutions are not doing the work alone. It is only accomplished through strong partnerships with community organizations. We believe that each one of these generous agencies deserves recognition and there is more to be gained by bringing them all together to celebrate than to choose one over another.
