Each academic year, to best serve the needs of student organizations looking to deepen and strengthen their community-engaged scholarship, student organizations on campus are invited to apply as an Anchor Organization in the Student Community Engagement Center (SCEC). This year, the SCEC has selected Hands in Health and Eta Sigma Gamma Delta Xi as one of only four Anchor Organizations to be assigned dedicated office and storage space in the SCEC in Capital Hall. As a selected Anchor Organization, Hands in Health and Eta Sigma Gamma Delta Xi will have the opportunity to meet regularly in the SCEC and utilize the space available in Capital Hall. They will work with the SCEC staff to develop an action plan for advancing their community engagement initiatives, annually assess and evaluate the impact of their project and partnership as a whole, as well as encourage individual members to respond to surveys that evaluate the overall impact of the SCEC, host Coffee & Community session(s), and nominate students to participate in the annual SCEC Leadership Academy.
