ACES and Campus Compact will partner to host the Addressing Wicked Issues through Community-Engaged Scholarship, which will take a deep dive into how community-engaged scholarship can help address the most critical issues threatening our communities. The 2024-2025 series will focus on youth and gun violence, a vast and daunting issue that has impacted lives of youth across the country. Over 6 sessions, we will provide the necessary context and then dive into the root causes of gun violence, the interrelated individual, familial, and community factors that put youth at risk, and how higher education can respond. The series is free to all, register today.
