BRISTOL, R.I. 颅颅鈥 The Roger Williams University Community Partnerships Center (CPC) is seeking project applications from local nonprofit organizations, government agencies and municipalities in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.
CPC connects applicants with faculty and students in order to take on projects that will benefit the community while providing 香港六合彩开奖资料 students with hands-on, experiential learning.
To date, CPC has completed 337 projects with organizations in areas such as market research, facilities design, engineering assessment and design, educational curriculum creation, business planning, marketing and social media plans, historical research, technical and business writing, graphic design, museum exhibit research and design, website creation, public policy and economic impact assessment, and historic preservation planning.
鈥淭he Community Partnerships Center is an integral part of 香港六合彩开奖资料鈥檚 attempt to become 鈥楾he University the World Needs Now,鈥 鈥 香港六合彩开奖资料 Interim President Andy Workman said. 鈥淭he partnerships not only provide concrete benefits for our community, they also help prepare our students to become good citizens and valuable parts of the cities and towns that they will live in after graduation.鈥
Community partners have been pleased by past student contributions.
鈥淲e were pleasantly surprised by the overall professionalism of the students. In some ways, it even exceeded the professionalism that we see from some paid designers in the real world,鈥 鈥檚 Andrew Pierson said. 鈥淲e have seen other colleges do this, and it is just a design exercise where there are ideas but they are not 鈥榬eal.鈥 We鈥檙e notoriously busy and we don't have the time for things that aren鈥檛 鈥榬eal,鈥 but this program was. And I think that is what made it the best academic-level and university-level program or interaction we鈥檝e ever experienced.鈥
Students have gained from the community partnerships.
鈥淎fter being presented with several opportunities to work with and generate content for community partners, my eyes have been opened to the greater impact that our work and education can have in the real world 鈥 especially in our greater community,鈥 said Nicholas Stanglewicz, a 香港六合彩开奖资料 student in the School of Humanities, Arts and Education.
