This workshop is an opportunity to see a demonstration of a new online community engagement tracking system, Collaboratory, and to learn about how you can share the public impact story of your community engagement activities by using this tool. Collaboratory is a centralized online platform for reporting, tracking, and sharing community engagement and public service work conducted by faculty, staff, students, and their community partners This activity could be in the form of teaching, research, public service, programs, and other campus/community partnerships. Earlier this year BGSU invested in Collaboratory and the BGSU Center for Public Impact was identified as the managing unit. The Collaboratory platform has both an external and internal component, which enables users to curate a publicly accessible record of their community-engaged work, while also providing institutional data for university strategic development, assessment, and benchmarking. The Collaboratory will enhance BGSU’s ability to share our public impact story by providing a centralized location in which public impact work across BGSU and the greater Northwest Ohio community can be reported and shared. It will also enable us to map partnerships, identifying community partners who are engaged with several collaborators at BGSU, as well as opportunities to develop new impactful partnerships.
REGISTER for a Track Your Community Engagement Activities with Collaboratory workshop offered through the Center of Faculty Excellence in collaboration with the Center for Public Impact.

Linux club members and non-member students can swing by our meeting space in the Union to get free computer assistance. The goal is to encourage members to install GNU/Linux on their machines by offering them technical advice and in-person assistance to keep the process accessible. This has been done in a couple of past semesters, but without a formal name.

Join Kyle Barnett (Bellarmine University) and Rob Sloane (BGSU) in a discussion about the social and cultural implications of Gennett Records’ business practices between the Jazz Age and the Great Depression.
Gennett Records of Richmond, Indiana played a crucial role in the U.S. recording industry of the 1920s. Gennett was the first of the era’s upstart labels to challenge the dominance of the “Big Three” record companies of the era (Victor, Columbia, and Edison). Gennett’s work played an important role in the establishment of the foundational genres of twentieth-century popular music: jazz, blues, and country.
By examining Gennett’s cultures of production, we are afforded a look at what the work meant then and now – a constellation of beliefs, attitudes, and dispositions. A discourse surrounding Gennett’s culture emerges from the company’s recording and scouting practices, their selection or rejection of releases, their advertising strategies for niche audiences, and so on. The company’s narrative provides a useful study of a media industry in a formative period, reflected both in its everyday business practices and in the social and cultural implications of the decisions they made.
This event will be on zoom. bgsu.edu/GennettRecords
