Sarah,
We have a portion of our Dean's Office that is an entire office of Community Engagement and Diversity. This is a core part of our mission that oversees a significant part of what we do. If you're interested in building this out as part of your Institute, I would contact our Vice Dean for Community Engagement, Dr. Kelli Bullard-Dunn. She is an amazing, amazing person who has been doing this type of work for a long time. I love and appreciate her amazing commitment along with Dr. Dwayne Compton and Dr. Brent Wright. They will likely have a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share.
Best,
Russ Farmer

Subject: Community organizer roles
Hello - Creighton University is building out community engagement and collaboration efforts that focus on improving health equity under its new Institute for Population Health. I'm curious - do others have job positions/descriptions that center around community organizing or being a community connector? This will be a big piece of our work - collaborating with CBOs, policymakers, community leaders, etc. to address SDoH. As we pull together position descriptions, it would be super helpful to see how others have thought about this. Thanks!
