Activities in which students apply learning in community settings, such as field-based professional preparation and applied classroom learning, in which students collaborate directly with community partners to address real-world issues.

Questions about the project: 

  • Are the UNL students in your class involved in a project collaborating with a non-UNL community partner? (see definition of community partner below) 
    • If yes, then it belongs on the map!  
    • Examples of these kinds of projects: 
      • Capstone or class projects with community partner(s) 
      • Volunteerism projects with community partner(s) 
      • Introductory or issues-based research project as part of the class with community partner(s) 
      • Internships, student and practicum teaching 
      • UCARE, FYRE, or undergrad highest distinction projects with a community partner(s) 
    • Examples that do not belong on the map 
      • Job shadowing, or observation in a classroom; the UNL participant must contribute something to the partnership 

Do you have a community deliverable that doesn’t exactly match these examples like a podcast, website, practitioner or lay-person publication? We would love to showcase it on the Community Resources Database. Please fill out the following form: CRDB Survey
