Grinnell College: October 30, 2024
In collaboration with the College’s Office of Civic Education and Innovation, many faculty members have implemented community-engaged aspects into their courses. Community-engaged learning (C-EL) classes were the vision of Wadzanai Motsi-Khatai ’12, who championed a student government initiative that ultimately led to the establishment of the Civic Education and Innovation (CEI) Office within the Center for Careers, Life, and Service (CLS). This office now plays a crucial role in supporting community-engaged teaching and learning initiatives across the curriculum. The courses are crafted to enrich classroom learning while also making a meaningful impact with and in the community.
