UNO Welcomes Dr. Diane Doberneck to campus.

In this keynote address, Doberneck will provide strategies for individual faculty members who wish to elevate engaged scholarship and community engagement within their RPT and annual review files and how academic leaders can support these efforts. Strategies will address common barriers and misconceptions of engaged scholarship and specific examples for addressing those challenges at the individual and unit level. Faculty members, administrators, and personnel committee members are encouraged to attend.

Doberneck consults with colleges and universities across the country on institutional change supportive of community engagement; revisions to reappointment, promotion, and tenure policies to support community engagement; publishing community-engaged scholarship; graduate education, and professional development for community engagement. She chairs the nationally competitive Emerging Engagement Scholars Workshop, speaks regularly at the Pen to Paper Academic Writing Retreat, is currently a Campus Compact Fellow writing the introductory module for the Community Engagement Competency Program, and has recently concluded a co-editorship of a special issue of the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement.

Light refreshments will be served. This event is sponsored by the Change Lab, Office of Engagement, and the Center for Faculty Excellence.

**Individual consultations with Dr. Doberneck will be available from 10:45 to 11:30 and 2:45 to 4:00.
