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.
