2021 Celebration of Collaboration
You are cordially invited to attend the University of Idaho’s first virtual Celebration of Collaboration. The University of Idaho has a long and proud tradition of fostering sustainable relationships that improve the learning and lives of our students and strengthen our communities. Community engagement is, in fact, a cornerstone of who we are as a University. Our faculty, staff, students, and community partners collaborate in countless mutually beneficial ways, giving life and meaning to our land grant mission.

This is an opportunity for us to come together to recognize, honor, and celebrate our accomplishments, to share the creative dynamics of our collaborations, and to create opportunities for new ones to emerge. This is also a time to reflect on what we have learned during this most difficult year and to consider ways that we can strive to become better together through community engaged teaching, learning, scholarship, and service.
