    As higher education institutions deepen their commitment to community engagement and impact, extension and engagement leaders are reimagining how to collaborate to achieve institutional engagement goals. This webinar brings together leaders from three land-grant universities to reflect on the evolving relationship between extension and engagement, drawing on their personal journeys, institutional histories, and emerging opportunities for collaboration. Panelists will explore how their offices uniquely and collectively advance engagement goals, the challenges of communicating their value across campus, and the structural and cultural shifts needed to move from siloed to synergistic efforts. Participants will leave with insights into how to deepen collaboration between extension and engagement and prepare the next generation of engagement professionals.
