RU Engaged Community of Practice

Group of people standing outdoors in front of a building during a community event. One person holds a green bin labeled REPLENISH, and a banner behind them reads celebrating 30 years and lets work together to end hunger. Overlaid text states connecting classrooms and communities through partner‑driven learning, with a subtitle indicating it is a community of practice.

Overview

The RU Engaged New Brunswick Faculty Group is for faculty who teach community-engaged, for-credit courses, such as practica, studios, and those with service learning or course-based research projects that are done in partnership with community groups.
