Kellogg Award applications

Since 2006, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities and the National Outreach Scholarship Conference, with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, have partnered to recognize the outreach and engagement partnerships of four-year public universities. The award recognizes programs that demonstrate how colleges and universities have redesigned their learning, discovery and engagement functions to become even more involved with their communities.

A committee administered by the Office of the Vice President for Public Service and Outreach will recommend one applicant to be UGA’s nominee for the Southern region.

To apply, send a 500-word abstract to Paul Brooks, associate vice president, by Jan. 23, that summarizes the outreach and engagement partnership; the issue and its significance for the relationship between the university and community, including the reciprocity of the relationship; the partnership’s impact on the community partner(s), and on the university partners; the lessons learned and best practices from the partnership; and future plans for the partnership.

For questions and to submit abstracts, contact Brooks at 706-542-6167 or pjbrooks@uga.edu.
