Building Inclusive Academically-Engaged Communities

Abstract

In this session, faculty and student collaborators in the Building Inclusive Academically-Engaged Communities program will discuss the projects they developed to promote inclusive teaching and learning at Salem State. Running during this academic year and sponsored by the Office of Inclusive Excellence and Center for Civic Engagement through a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education's Higher Education Innovation Fund, this pilot program brought together faculty and students from the College of Arts and Sciences, Bertolon School of Business, School of Education, and College of Health and Human Services to mentor each other as they explored inclusive pedagogy.
