Publishing Equitably with Community: Advancing Voice, Value, and Visibility in Community-Engaged Scholarship

Transform Mid-Atlantic (TMA) and the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) are excited to offer a special professional development and networking opportunity. Please register for this timely opportunity to connect, share, and build with colleagues who are committed to making civic and community engagement — and engaged scholarship — more visible, valued, and impactful within and beyond our institutional systems.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Tania Mitchell, the inaugural Associate Provost for Community Engagement and a Professor in the College of Education at the University of Maryland, will give the keynote address.

Bring your questions and experiences about publishing community-engaged scholarship with community partners. Together, we will reflect on how institutions can more meaningfully support faculty whose teaching, research, and service are rooted in community partnership and public impact. Additionally, campus teams will investigate how to move from having engaged faculty to engaged departments and institutions. The registration deadline is Friday, September 19, 2025.
