Community Advisory Committee
The Praxis Program Community Partner Advisory Committee works with the Praxis Steering Committee to guide and support the ongoing development of our community-based learning program. The Praxis program strives to develop reciprocal and sustainable relationships with the people and organizations that are linked to Praxis courses and students. This intention is conveyed through our actions, procedures and ongoing communication. This committee will both expand and provide focus to our partnership efforts. The Advisory Committee meets three to four times per year and works on particular tasks related to assessment, planning and problem solving. In between meetings, community advisory committee members may be contacted for advice or input about particular situations and projects.
