One common example of CBR isuniversity-community collaboration in which students and researchers come up with ideas,perspectives, and knowledge at each stage of the project with the goal to address communityneeds. The community is

We will continueto expand our data size and we will continue to collaborate with more local community partnersand student organizations within Wright College to organize volunteering opportunities. Withmore activities and larger data size, we will compare the impact of all terms on the STEMidentity and STEM efficacy of volunteers.V.

research grant (e.g., NSF),s/he must comply with already structured research as stated in the grant proposal which rarelyincludes RT as defined and outlined above (NSF’s Broader Impact criterion is not RT). In spiteof these institutional, structural, and procedural constraints, the student co-authors in this paperdeveloped a commitment to RT mainly due to the spaces that their HES graduate programopened to do so and the guidance of faculty committed to RT. Hence, as expected, their RTefforts had to be implemented somewhat haphazardly, often circumventing established academicpractices but without placing themselves in trouble. Other students, while deeply committed toRT, found themselves prioritizing traditional academic writing, valued by academic
research mentors to attend outreach events with their students at the start of the student’s program as a sign of encouragement and commitment to broader impacts.AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by NSF awards #1914490 and #2115169.

academic programs that focus on academic and community partnerships would appeal to a wider range of high school students, hence increasing interest in these degrees with higher retention and graduation rates.Integrating project-based service learning with courses can introduce challenges that would nottypically exist in regular traditional academic courses, some of these challenges are: • The community project purpose and timeline need to align with the course(s) learning outcomes and deliverables. Some organizations would have urgency to complete projects 5 within a certain time frame that will not fit with the progress of courses. For this reason, during the partnership

One of thesignificant impacts of redlining in Omaha was the communities and neighborhoods that were displacedduring the construction of US Highway 75. The U. S.

. Toooften, educational institutions uphold hegemonic norms and the status quo. Howard et al.describe that “education has reinforced structures of disadvantage rather than challenging suchstructures,” adding that “education appears to maintain rather than change broad social andeconomic structures” [1, p. 2]. Carpini and Keeter describe service learning as “a collaborativeeffort to address a community problem” [2, p. 635]. Building off of Gervasoni et al.’s [1] andCarpini and Keeter’s [2] social justice lens—though they use the language of service learning—we have chosen the term community engagement rather than service learning to emphasize themutual benefit of the community and the students and to avoid the more deficit-basedperspective that
