6. Invitation letter My LEEP Community Engagement class meets on campus on Friday, October 16. Your [group/organization/project/course] is an excellent example of community engagement. Would you be available to meet with 3-5 students, at 1:00-2:00 pm on that day? I'd like the students to do a mini-field trip in which they visit a campus group engaged in some form of community work. They will ask some basic 5W questions such as: Who: What individuals, organization, and community groups are involved? What: How does this project/group engage with the communities? How is the community's voice included? When: How long has this work been underway? How often does it work with the community? Where: Where is the work done? Why: What has been accomplished? What are plans for the future? The class meets all day. I'm thinking now that a field trip after lunch, followed by discussion and reports back in our Illini Union meeting room would work best for us. Would you be available as a field trip site, to meet with 3-5 students? They would come with questions such as those above, plus their own, based on their own positions as librarians, museum educators, teachers, community workers, researchers, etc. They would also bring cameras to photograph the space, objects, and people, only with permission of course. These would be used in their report to the class. The primary activity may be simply talk, with you or your colleagues or students. But if you have any kind of brief, hands-on activity to demonstrate the work, that would be an excellent addition. Please let me know by next Monday (October 5) if you're willing and available to do this, or before then if you have any questions.
