Mapping the environment and planting seeds for mutually-beneficial partnerships
How might we prepare to receive and integrate partners into collaboration so that we truly leverage their knowledge, expertise and experiences? The preparation approach can sometimes feel generic or haphazard. There may be existing relationships or history that requires exploration and research before a healthy relationship can begin. Partners have high expectations of their collaborations, and we should fully lay the groundwork to ensure we can rise to those expectations and accomplish common goals. How might we establish trust and build opportunities for authentic collaboration?
8:30-9:45 a.m. Conference Kick-off
Social Embeddedness in the ASU Enterprise
Panelists:
- Maria Anguiano | Executive Vice President, Learning Enterprise, Arizona State University
- Dr. Nancy Gonzales | Provost Pro Tempore and Executive Vice President, Academic Enterprise, Arizona State University
- Dr. Sally C. Morton | Executive Vice President, Knowledge Enterprise, Arizona State University
Moderated by: Dr. Jonathan Koppell | Vice Provost of Public Service and Social Impact and Dean, Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions
Since 2014, the annual ASU Social Embeddedness Network Conference has brought together community-engaged ASU staff and faculty from a variety of disciplines and units throughout ASU to build connections, share strategies and highlight best practices for advancing ASU as a socially-embedded institution. This year’s conference theme is focused on the conditions necessary to create an environment that can establish long-term, sustainable, mutually beneficial university-community partnerships. We recognize that all parts of the ASU enterprise must coordinate and collaborate to accelerate progress toward attaining the highest public value and impact.
Join us for this high-profile panel that will address:
- How we can operationalize the charter and design aspirations across the university
- What social embeddedness looks like in each part of the enterprise model
- How ASU’s assets can be mobilized to increase access to social and economic opportunities
Breakout Sessions
After the plenary session, we invite you to join one of the many breakout sessions and workshops designed to bring together our network, share strategies for forging meaningful and mutually beneficial partnerships and generate institutional dialogue about how to advance socially-embedded research, teaching, student development and practices. Presentations are formatted in the following ways:
Lightning Talk
(3 presentations, ~10 minutes each)
This is a structured TED Talk-style presentation featuring 1-2 speakers, where time is dedicated to sharing knowledge through a short presentation that focuses on a particular tool, design or lesson learned. This type of session shares a best practice, idea (big, small or somewhere in the middle) and/or a new way of thinking about community-university partnerships that demonstrate how we can collaborate to achieve local and global change. This type of presentation leverages slides or additional materials minimally and includes elements of storytelling to engage the audience.
Three Lightning Talks are grouped together in a 45-minute session.
Community Collaboration
(45 minutes)
Together with at least one community partner as a co-presenter, this more classic presentation style tells the story of ongoing social embeddedness work, research or critical thoughts about how community partnerships are essential to achieve local, national and/or global change. Co-designed by the presenters, this is an opportunity to share what they do together, including how they established this mutually-beneficial relationship, the current state and what might be next. This is also an opportunity to share insights and lessons from their experience working together and highlight and recognize each other's knowledge, expertise and contribution to local, national and/or global change. These presentations serve as unique examples of how ASU works with community partners in mutually beneficial ways.
