CDE NATIONAL RESEARCH AGENDA

In May of 2019, Community Development Educators from across the United States convened in Detroit, MI to discuss the status of Community Development Education in Higher Education. During the Community Development Education Symposium and correlating Summit, educators worked to establish a professional agenda that would guide the emerging field for the next several years. As a result, the Community Development Education National Research Agenda was formed.
