  3. Propose and/or participate in events that bring university and community knowledge producers together
  4. Develop strategies to value local environmental knowledge in academic research
  5. Participate in an annual meeting to discuss broad initiatives in community engagement at UNM

  • Affiliate profiles will be listed (and annually updated) on the Center for Community Geography website.
