OCEL Community Fellows Symposium!
Please join us at the OCEL Community Fellows Symposium on Friday, September 25th, 4:00pm – 5:30pm, at The Aula on Vassar’s Campus.
The OCEL Community Fellows Symposium brings together students, community partners, and members of the Vassar community to celebrate a summer of collaboration, learning, and community-engaged work.
Throughout the summer, Community Fellows worked alongside local organizations on projects that respond to community-identified priorities and contribute to the ongoing work of their partner organizations.
At the Symposium, Community Fellows will share reflections from their experiences, highlighting the projects they supported, the relationships they built, and what they learned from working alongside community leaders and organizations.
The event also recognizes the community partners who welcomed students into their work and served as mentors, collaborators, and co-educators throughout the summer.
Together, we will celebrate the relationships at the heart of community-engaged learning and the shared work of building stronger, more connected communities.
Please RSVP here and add the event to your calendar here!
