Engage@NKU is a series of engaging and interactive learning programs and resources hosted by Northern Kentucky University's Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement. The goal of this series is to strengthen educational and service-based partnerships. Programs will:
• Highlight successful practices and partnerships in service learning and community engagement.
• Provide networking opportunities to facilitate beneficial campus-community alliances.
• Explore and identify how academic research and service learning can meet the needs of the community.
Community Connections offers programs, activities, and resources that are dedicated to fostering a commitment to attain a postsecondary education in the minds of elementary and middle school students. The younger the child is when exposed to college, the better the chances that a student will incorporate college into his/her lifelong goals. NKU faculty, staff, students, and alumni have created activities for teachers, community youth coordinators, and families to use; supplementing lesson plans, adding to their own programming and allowing the next generation to explore topics through the lens of NKU research and creative efforts.
