Research has indicated that participation in high impact educational practices (HIPs) results in positive student outcomes. Moreover, cumulative positive effects have been noted when students participate in multiple HIPs, which may be further amplified when those HIPs are combined into one learning experience. The AAC&U considers collaborative projects and community-engaged learning HIPs. The Carnegie Foundation, which awards an elective classification to higher education institutions for community engagement, defines community engagement as “collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity.” We integrate a collaborative project with community-engaged learning in an undergraduate teamwork and leadership course in a college of agriculture. Teamwork learning experiences are situated in the context of agriculture, natural resources, and food systems in part by working with a local non-profit organization engaged in food sovereignty and education. Students are assigned to teams and work collaboratively together with our community partner to host a charity event designed to both raise financial support for and increase visibility of the organization in the broader community. In addition, community members and organizations who interact with students over the course of the semester increase their awareness of the class, as well as the associated department and college. Students consistently report increased teamwork skills from the beginning to the end of the semester. Anecdotally, students have also shared that they learned about food systems, community disparities, and non-profit organization management, as well as gained an appreciation for civic engagement. The community partner, too, has acknowledged their increased understanding of the land-grant institution and effective teamwork. Collaborative community-engaged learning requires significant planning and time but has the potential to yield positive outcomes for students, communities, and institutions.
