What is CELR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CELR is defined as a credit-bearing educational experience where students participate in an organized activity (direct service, research, creative process, advocacy, consulting) collaborating with a community partner (organization, industry, business, K-12 schools, local government) for the purpose of mutual beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity (adapted from Bringle and Hatcher (1996) & the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mission<\/strong> is the advancement of mutually beneficial relationships between the university and the extra-campus community through community-engaged learning and research for the purposes of education and growth among all involved parties. CELR supports the University of Washington Bothell in its mission to be a \u201ctransformational learning community,\u201d and to \u201cserve as a catalyst to enhance quality of life throughout our region\u201d while fostering a \u201cdynamic community of multicultural learning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
