Be Here Club
The Be Here Club (BHC) is an informal monthly social/networking gathering intended to make the larger UNCG community a little smaller. Academic professionals, including faculty, administrators, and staff, often operate in insulated channels with diverse responsibilities, therefore making communal socialization, integration, and partnerships challenging. BHC is also a forum to encourage engagement with community members and partners from outside of UNCG to add to the aesthetic of Greensboro and create real opportunities for societal improvement on a local level. Above all else, the BHC is simply a place to find, and build, camaraderie and comfort for those who call UNCG and Greensboro home. Email us at communityengagement@uncg.edu for more information about Be Here Club and meeting locations.
Food is sponsored by the Deans of the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Health and Human Sciences.
Knowledge Production Corner
The Community Engagement Knowledge Production Corner aims to connect community-engaged scholars and their community partners to explore opportunities and challenges related to producing scholarly products through collaborating, networking, supporting each other’s ideas, and sharing space to work together. Scholarly products can include but are not limited to performances, podcasts, visual art pieces, journal publications, process papers, technical reports, community reports and presentations. All community-engaged knowledge production is encouraged and welcomed. The purpose of this space is to establish an interdisciplinary community of practice among faculty and their community partners around scholarship that connects to community engagement.
Specific activities of the group include networking, sharing project goals, and time for individual or collaborative working. Periodically, the group will host discussions on topics relevant to the work of community-engaged faculty, staff, and community partners.
