Academic Civic Engagement, or ACE, includes three loaded words that when strung together carry a powerful punch in the ways we approach teaching, the ways our students learn, and the ways we envision teaching and learning working towards the common good.
Join Alyssa Herzog Melby, Assistant Director for Academic Civic Engagement, as we unpack ACE alongside theories of social impact, social change, and ethics. Participants will view the spectrum of ACE work happening here at St. Olaf. Three faculty members–Jennifer Holbein (Exercise Science), Jess Petok (Psychology), and L. DeAne Lagerquist (American Conversations)–will share their experiences in integrating ACE components into their courses. Select community partners from Northfield will share potential project ideas as participants think about their own courses and building future collaborations with community partners
