Students may complete community engagement training and enrichment (T&E) activities to supplement hours. Developed by the Center for Community Engagement, these activities inform and support community work by looking at a variety of issues and subject areas.

T&E INSTRUCTIONS:

1. T&E activities are provided below to supplement your community work. (NOTE: If you are able to do remote service, please focus on that before using these supplemental resources)
2. Time spent on these activities may be used as Service Distinction hours for this semester.
3. Each activity has a related assignment. Submit assignments by email or share in Google Drive to CCE staff (jessica.deal@cnu.edu or vanessa.buehlman@cnu.edu) for hours approval.
4. Log hours in your CNU Engage account: Go to “Add Service Site” > choose the “Community Development” or “All Community Partner Service Sites” option > choose “CCE – Remote Work” > Submit
5. For each activity including a video, movie, webinar or class include the amount of time spent watching plus the indicated amount of time awarded for completing the assignment.
6. Contact CCE staff (email provided above or call 757-594-7233) for assistance.
