UNC to Host Annual Event Promoting Partnerships

November 3, 2009

The third annual "Embracing Community, Together: Greeley/Weld County and the University of Northern Colorado," an interactive forum discussing current and exploring future partnerships between the university and community, will be at 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, in the ballrooms at the University Center, intersection of 10th Avenue 20th Street.

The forum will bring UNC faculty, students, and staff together with representatives of Greeley/Weld County community organizations to showcase current partnerships and envision the future.

This year the Embracing Community Together event will run concurrently with the Student Activities and Community Connections Volunteer Fair. The Volunteer Fair is an opportunity for UNC students, faculty and staff to make connections to a variety of nonprofit and other organizations, find volunteer or community service projects and become more engaged in the Greeley community. Refreshments will be provided. For more information, contact the UNC Community Connections Office at community.connections@unco.edu or call 351-1072.

Also, as part of the activities, Juana Bordas, president of Mestiza Leadership International in Denver, will present "The Power of We: Leading our Diverse and Dynamic Community," 3:30-5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, in the Panorama Room at the University Center. A book signing follows. The event is free and open to public. However, tickets are required to enter and can be picked up at the UNC Ticket Office in the University Center.

Registration to be a participant for "Embracing Community" is due Nov. 6. Poster presentations, demonstration projects and information tables are welcome and will be displayed Nov. 17.
