Welcome to the Weekend of June 18th, 2021

Dear community partners,

I am writing to let you know that USF is a new member of the Alliance of Engaged Universities, hosted by the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE). 

As its name suggests, IARSLCE is an association of scholars and practitioners who are interested in the scholarship of service-learning pedagogies and community engagement practices. Universities that join the Alliance support the important research, publications, and other programs of IARSLCE and receive benefits designed to help them build institutional capacity and advance their engagement missions.

One such benefit is an unlimited number of individual memberships in IARSLCE for faculty, staff, students, and community partners affiliated with USF. USF’s affiliation with the Alliance means that you are able to join IARSLCE and attend this year’s virtual gathering at no cost. To become a member of IARSLCE, please visit https://iarslce.memberclicks.net/join-iarslce-today and use the code “ALLIANCE” to have the membership fee waived.  (If you have any trouble, please let me know.)

I would also encourage you to attend the virtual gathering (November 15-17, 2021).  We will have programming specifically targeted to community partners, and you can also consider submitting a proposal independently or in collaboration with faculty/staff/students to share your SLCE scholarship. The CFP is available here; the extended deadline to submit a proposal is June 25. Registration for the meeting will be available via IARSLCE’s website soon.

I hope you will join me in taking advantage of the benefits that come with this designation.

Warm regards,

If your organization is hosting an event that is related to our Restorative Justice mission, we would love to help get the word out to our community. Relevant events should provide resources and support for justice-involved individuals, the incarcerated and their families, and/or to victims of crimes, specifically homicide.
