Build stronger connections in community engagement with A Guide to Collaborative Communication for Service-Learning and Community Engagement Partners. Written by Rebecca Dumlao, a professor in the School of Communication at East Carolina University, this book examines partnerships at the fundamental level of human interaction. Rather than focusing only on high-level policy, this text looks at how two people work together toward shared goals. It provides a framework for understanding interpersonal dynamics that shape formal relationships. This is particularly useful for managing the connection between community organization members and campus representatives. By applying these collaborative communication principles, individuals can create a solid foundation for building flexible and lasting professional bonds. Whether you are working in academia or community service, these practices help bridge the gap between different institutional roles to ensure successful, goal-oriented cooperation.
