For the fifth year in a row, the Community Engagement Division is coordinating a local community engagement event prior to the ASEE Annual Conference. This year, in Tampa, participants will contribute to the ongoing collaborations between University of South Florida engineering faculty and the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. This event will be an outreach activity, bringing students from local communities in for the day to explore many of the exciting links between engineering and the aquarium. In addition to engagement with local students, participants will have some time to explore and share how faculty at the University of South Florida and others are connecting with their local communities through curricular and co-curricular community engagements. This event will provide an opportunity for novices to community engagement to interact with and learn from experts with decades of experience exploring the complexities of developing effective and transformative academic-community collaborations. This event will take place on the Saturday afternoon before the conference and will cost $25 to participate.
