Are you involved in scholarship with community partners?  Are you interested 
in doing more of this work?
Would you benefit from mentoring and networking with other engaged scholars?

If you are an advanced graduate student or a junior faculty member in the 
early part of your career, we invite you to apply for the Emerging 
Engagement Scholars Workshop, which takes place in conjunction with the 
National Outreach Scholarship Conference at Pennsylvania State University 
(October 7-9, 2008).  Sponsors of the workshop include Penn State 
University, the partner institutions of the National Outreach Scholarship 
Conference, and the National Center for the Study of University Engagement 
(NCSUE) at Michigan State University

The workshop experience includes presentations from national leaders and 
community partners, master class seminars focused on the literature and 
theory around engaged scholarship and small group working sessions led by 
senior scholars in community engagement.  Participants are asked to submit a 
research propectus in advance and receive specific feedback and mentoring 
designed to strengthen their research.

Participation is limited and will be determined by a competitive selection 
process.  Interested applicants must be nominated to be part of this 
workshop.  Go to http://ncsue.msu.edu/eesw.aspx to download the nomination 
packet.  Applications are due July 18, 2008.

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Tami 
Moore (tamimoore at wsu.edu, or 509-339-3816).

Please share this information with your colleagues and students who may also 
be interested in applying.

We look forward to hearing from you.
