ARIS PI Dr. Susan Renoe has been selected to serve on the New America Accelerator for Community Colleges in the Innovation Economy. This new initiative works to provide community colleges with the institutional capacity-building support needed to maximize their participation in regional innovation ecosystems — including EDA Tech Hubs and NSF Engines.

Got some great news last week -- an article we've been working on for more than a year was published in the Journal for Community Engagement and Scholarship. Our article is all about broader impacts, the potential for university research to benefit society. I spend almost all day every day thinking about this! We interviewed five community partners to ask for their perspectives on a new digital tool that researchers can use to improve the societal relevance of their research. Our partners suggest three ways this toolkit could be improved moving forward, underscoring the importance of relationship building to any Broader Impacts activity. Our work was funded by ARIS, Advancing Research in Society, and the National Science Foundation.
