This Showcase will highlight the many ways faculty and staff strengthen partnerships between UNC Charlotte and the broader Charlotte community. It will feature community-engaged research as well as programs and projects that advance community priorities through education, service, and outreach.
The 2.5-hour event will include fast-paced, three-minute “lightning” presentations followed by a networking reception designed to foster new relationships among faculty, staff, students, and community partners.
