Community Partners in Community-Engaged Learning

Students in Legal Research and Analysis courses partnered with LawNY to conduct research on a variety of topics, including employment status and background checks for individuals with criminal records; vacant properties and compliance with the Reinvestment Act in low-income, red-lined areas; and the accessibility of interpretation services in court proceedings.

In Analytical Chemistry courses, students conducted water quality analyses to obtain data on lead, phosphorous, and pollutants within the creeks of Ganondagan State Historic Site property, and chemical soil analyses in community gardens at Wide Water Gardens and St. Mark’s and St. John’s Episcopal Church.

Students offer 16 hours of support to patients, families, and staff at local comfort care homes through the School of Nursing's Palliative and End of Life Care course.

• In Community-Based Writing, students interviewed residents living at Valley Manor Senior Life Community and presented memoirs summarizing their stories and experiences to the individuals and their families.
• Students in a Cardinal Experience course, The Black Church in Rochester, are producing a small publication about the history of the Memorial AME Zion Church.

Small groups of students in Promotions Management, a course offered at the School of Business, partner with local non-profit organizations and businesses to develop a promotional plan. They conclude the partnership with a professional presentation and written report.
