Research and Relationships: Strengthening Community-Engaged Scholarship with Worcester and the College

Wednesday, November 1, 3:30-5:00 p.m.

Hogan Ballroom 

Aspire, the College’s strategic plan for a hope-filled future, invites us to deepen our working relationships with our neighbors, peer institutions and community partners. The “In and Of Worcester” pillar, in particular, calls on Holy Cross to “embrace and promote the world of opportunity” in Worcester as active partners.

Join us on November 1 in conversation with leaders from Holy Cross and across the City of Worcester on the future of community-engaged research. Questions to explore will include: 

• What does a healthy research relationship between a city and an institution of higher education look like? 
• What are the urgent priorities for the Worcester community today? 
• How can research partnerships between Worcester and Holy Cross advance those priorities? What models do we need? 

In conversation with:

• Eric Batista, City Manager, City of Worcester

• Ilaria Fiorenza, Project Manager, Health and Human Services, City of Worcester

• Dr. Rachel Monárrez, Superintendent of Worcester Public Schools
• Vincent D. Rougeau, President, College of the Holy Cross
• Elliott Visconsi, Provost and Dean of the College of the Holy Cross
