Dear Rutgers Community,

You are invited to attend the 2022 Community Engaged Scholarship (CES) Symposium on June 14^th from 9:00am – 4:00pm. 

At this Rutgers University-wide forum, we are showcasing cutting-edge scholarship across Rutgers and beyond.

We are soliciting abstracts for poster and a limited number of oral presentations from faculty, students and trainees.  Top rated, trainee and/or student led abstracts that are selected by the CES Symposium abstract review committee will receive special recognition at the program and monetary awards.

We are seeking to showcase a broad range of scholarly projects. Projects can be in process or recently completed. Projects should have a health equity focus. Topics can include but are not limited to work that includes research-practice partnerships, community based or engaged approaches, and/or extension models. A broad range of study designs are also encouraged ranging from observational to intervention focused scholarship.

Regards,

CES Symposium Planning Committee
