or collaborative Legobuilds that span an entire day or two engage many people and promote social interactionacross grade years. Individual activities such as coloring or origami promote mindfulness.Having one or more graduate or undergraduate student assistant(s) that work with a faculty orstaff organizer for the wellness programming is beneficial to not only assist with overseeingprogramming content, but they also serve as a friendly face to welcome and encourage otherstudents to engage in the activities. When faculty and staff engage in the activities itdemonstrates to the students the value of making time for wellness, which helps to integrate itinto the organizational culture.Offering food, especially pre-packaged snacks, is a great way
aptitude [2]. When community service is integrated into a school’s curriculum, it hasbeen found to increase students’ enjoyment of learning, academic motivation, and performance[2-3]. In adults, reports have shown that volunteering improves physical and mental health,boosts self-esteem, and increases overall happiness [4]. Students who support communityengagement initiatives such as volunteering related to their discipline, gain applicable experienceand advocate for their careers [5].Service learning is one type of community service in which projects are assigned within astudent’s curriculum [6]. Within the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM), [7] research has been conducted on how to improve student retention

forEPICS students to work on international projects and enable these experiences by incorporatingthem into their design challenges. The Purdue faculty is dedicated to working with otheruniversities to support their goals and implement an infrastructure similar to that of EPICS.Actionable changes for leveraging strengths - Between partnerships:Partial incentives for students on each partnership were to engage internationally. Overall, a centralfocus would be to create more opportunities for bidirectional international engagement for bothteams. Currently the EPICS students get both the experience to interact with international peers,and learn about community members in India by centering them in design missions.

healthengineering (dual-level graduate and undergraduate, elective); and 3) biologicalprinciples of environmental engineering (graduate only, required course). These courseswere offered at the Missouri University of Science and Technology and through MissouriOnline distance education. The primary audience included students of environmentalengineering as well as students of civil engineering and architectural engineering andstudents of nursing. The module included an overview of community engagement,gathering community information, co-identification of a problem and a solution, andtesting the solution.While many forms of community engagement often aim to unearth problems and co-design solutions in a partnership between the researcher/scholar and
studentsthe methodology for psychology research and the impact on students’ learning. Costigan (2020)discussed the use of two CBR projects to advance student learning in research and courseworkand illustrate to students what it means for research to have an impact. Mello-Goldner (2019)described the integration of CBR in a two-semester course and its impact on undergraduatestudents. Through the engagement with external community organizations, students wereprovided with a larger and more varied data set. In addition, students completed a conference-style poster and learned how to present results to the college community.Despite the rewards that come with adopting or implementing CBR, it can be challenging tomeet community needs and university
unique opportunities topartner and integrate the GOAL programming into the public school system curriculum. Theschool system integration provides a consistent platform for the GOAL programming whichensures longevity of the program and its ability to reach intended audiences. Post launch, therehas been interest from other school systems to utilize GOAL, but logistics of implementation(e.g., disconnection between administrators and in-classroom implementers) creates a lot ofinertia toward getting relationships started. This factor has kept collaborations from expanding tothe scale of PGCPS or MCPS. While the COVID pandemic created a lot of chaos, it alsoprovided a unique opportunity where action was necessary.
