As the 快活app Grand Challenges initiative enters its second year, the Center for Community Engagement to advance Scholarship and Learning (CCESL) is creating groups to take action and improve daily living in our communities. Teams of 14-22听community members, faculty, staff and students will collaborate as part of working collaboratively across disciplines to create measurable change in a variety of areas. Each cohort will be able to request up to $100,000 to support its proposed actions during this two-year commitment.

Congratulations to the following听members of 快活app and the community, who applied and have been selected to serve on one of four Collective Impact Cohorts!
