Fairs connect UNG to its communities

"Our Community Engagement Fairs are often the first point of encounter between our campus community members and organizations serving the region where we live, providing opportunities for our campus constituents to connect with the surrounding communities to enhance learning, growth, development, and engagement," Maxine Douglas, who leads the Gainesville Campus CEF and is director of Academic Engagement and a senior lecturer of sociology and human services, said. "I am inviting all campus community members, including faculty, staff and students, to attend at least one CEF this year to explore academic and community engagement opportunities and connect with community partners and organizations."

Dr. Esther Morgan-Ellis, assistant director of Academic Engagement and professor of music, leads the Dahlonega Campus CEF.

"Our community partners are eager to connect with members of the UNG community to pursue shared ambitions. The most powerful learning takes place outside of the classroom," Morgan-Ellis said. "This is a chance for students, faculty and staff to make connections that will have a significant long-term impact on our educational goals."
