by Kathleen Lodl 21 Dec '25

21 Dec '25

All - Thanks for a great meeting last week. As we all said, this group is one of the best! It's amazing minds being totally open to sharing in a collegial environment and safe space. It doesn’t get any better! Here are some follow-up items: * We will cancel our January Zoom as many will not be back. * We decided this meeting was important enough to do it F2F twice a year. Here’s the link with potential June dates, we’re looking at a Thursday/Friday: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://ssp.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0TFHkyBd3… During our February meeting, we will discuss agenda items for the coming months: * Garnering Support for Engagement - messages for internal and external stakeholders * Reporting Impact and ROI * Promotion and Tenure * Funding for Engagement * Harnessing AI for Engagement * Who should be on our listserv * We can keep adding... We are also reaching out to the schools who haven’t been active to invite them to our team. If you want to email the list, use this address: big10engagementreps(a)lists.unl.edu Let me know what we’re missing! Thanks for the partnership and for all you do around engagement. Enjoy the break!

UMinn MOU for CEL
by Laurie Van Egeren 10 Dec '25

10 Dec '25

Regarding the discussion about General Counsel-approved MOUs for community-engaged learning partnerships, my center director sent this: CCEL replaced our MOU process that had gone through OGC and Office of Risk Management approvals (sample attached) with what we refer to as our Community Partner Compliance Process <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.gle/HiCeMZwHp8NLBo2J6__;!!PvXuogZ… > (also approved by OGC and OET) and for purposes of students being approved by their faculty or CESP for other opportunities they want to use for their programs, we created this version of it, which we refer to as the Compliance Check for One-Off <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.gle/jYzrHLwdVWQ1V73dA__;!!PvXuogZ… >situations. Both of those forms have been updated with the new language about not being able to work with organizations that limit participation based on a protected category and are not open to anyone to participate per my meeting with Tina Marisam right before Thanksgiving. Students also have to complete a Community-Engaged Learning Student Participation Agreement form that is built into our existing portal or via a form <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.gle/WwEZqnMmsJT9sC2Z8__;!!PvXuogZ… >that some faculty who don't use the portal for referrals use instead. CESP Students complete a very similar form also embedded in the portal. I worked with OGC to create those as well.
