About the Tour

The New Faculty Community Engagement Tour engages early career faculty and advanced graduate students, as well as faculty with an interest in community-engaged scholarship, in three, day-long tours of West Alabama and the Alabama Black Belt. Travelers have opportunities to develop innovative partnerships with community members and other campus researchers interested in community-based approaches to addressing community needs. Those who are involved in or interested in research that contributes to their discipline while making a positive impact on external stakeholders in our communities should participate.

The New Faculty Community Engagement Tour is a collaborative initiative among the Office of Academic Affairs, the Graduate School, the Office of Research and Economic Development, the Council on Community-Based Partnerships, the Center for Community-Based Partnerships and the Division of Community Affairs.
