Community-Engaged Scholarship
Engaged scholarship seeks to discover new knowledge through activities that collaboratively generate, exchange or apply academic and community knowledge and practices through reciprocal partnerships among members of the University and members of the broader public. Engaged Scholarship includes community engaged teaching and research.
The Office of Engagement and Community Affairs collaborates across the institution to produce and amplify unique resources, programming, and initiatives that support community engaged scholarship projects and the professional development and advancement of engaged scholars at Pitt and within our broader communities.
