Weeks of Change

As we move through this academic year navigating an unfamiliar environment due to the pandemic, our commitment to facilitating immersive experiences organized around critical social issues persists. 

Throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, Community Engaged Learning is organizing “Weeks of Change”: collections of in-person and virtual programs, events, and projects—ranging from direct service, to dialogues and discussions, to teach-ins—that focus on making change with regard to that week’s social issue.   

This spring, we will have three Weeks of Change:

• February 15-February 19 - Black History
• March 8-March 12 – Disability Awareness
• April 5-April 9 - Sexual Assault Awareness

Each week will have its own webpage, which will include some background information, a schedule, and, after the week concludes, a Continued Engagement guide to provide resources to community members interested in continuing to make change in that area.

As you participate in Week of Change events and post on social media, please be sure to use the hashtag “#WeekOfChange” and tag our office’s account (@kentstatecel) in each post!
