Community Impact

These training modules are developed in partnership with the Office of Vice Provost for Academic Outreach.

Doctoral Students and Postdocs across all disciplines typically undertake research to expand the boundaries of knowledge towards creating positive impact in society. Therefore, understanding how to engage with communities in a meaningful and ethical manner as scientists and scholars is prudent for long-term professional satisfaction, and  personal wellbeing. Understanding best practices also helps to ensure that our impact as scholars is actually in the community’s interest.
