The Global & Community Engagement (GCE) Collaborative Project Fund is intended to support LA&PS faculty members and registered York student organizations for projects and initiatives that build inclusiveness and diverse forms of community engagement.
As our University Academic Plan recognizes, a “spirit of inclusion and empowerment” is a priority for enhancing community engagement within and beyond the university. Commitments to social justice, equity, and inclusion should form the core principles of successful Global & Community Engagement collaborative projects. Successful projects will foster Principle #2 of the LA&PS Academic Plan, by maximizing academic potential and collaborating on initiatives to engage local communities and promote sustainability.
