A Hybrid Genre Supports Hybrid Roles In Community-University Collaboration, Timothy Henningsen

Faculty Scholarship

This chapter describes how community-university collaboration is created

by the Chicago Civic Leadership Certificate Program (CCLCP), an

undergraduate program offered at the University of Illinois at Chicago
