Faculty advisory committee (FAC)

Institute for Community Engagement and Scholarship Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC)

The Community Engagement Faculty Advisory Committee promotes community-engaged teaching, learning, research, and service within Metro State’s academic units, and serves as a mechanism to support and encourage interdisciplinary faculty collaboration to advance academic community engagement. The FAC members act individually and collectively to disseminate best practices, emphasize community engagement in the development of new curricula, refer faculty colleagues to appropriate resources, and to develop and promote policies and procedures through the IFO that advance the practice of community engaged teaching, learning, and scholarship.
