Akron Community Engaged Scholar [ACES]
The title of Akron Community Engaged Scholar is a way to formally affiliate with the EX[L] Center for Community Engaged Learning for those full- or part-time faculty who demonstrate a commitment to public impact by connecting campus and community through their teaching, scholarhsip, and/or significant service.
Who are ACES
ACE Scholars are mindful of best practices, striving to create partnerships based on mutual benefit, reciprocity, authenticity, trust, and equity. They actively support a culture of engagement on campus and contribute to telling UA's community engagement story by being active users of the Collaboratory data system. ACE Scholars are connected by a shared passion, and convene for professional development, to share best practices, to mentor others, and to innovate in community engagement.
