LEAP: Promoting Lifetime Eating and Physical Activity Practices
Community Engagement Activity
LEAP is a collaborative partnership between Guilford County residents and representatives of health service agencies, health care providers, institutions of higher education, nonprofits, foundations, and city and county governments.
We seek to improve health by working toward a greater understanding of the many factors, from structural to individual, that impact healthy eating and physical activity in Guilford County and how to measure them effectively.
Committed to the principle of authentic community engagement, we work through reciprocal partnerships to ask better questions, access and understand better data, come to better answers, and share ideas more clearly.
Assisting a Charter School Initiate an Individual Transition Plan for a High School Student
Public Service Activity
My doctoral student and I are working with a charter high school (Henderson Collegiate, Henderson, NC) in the eastern section of North Carolina to assist their exceptional children's program in implementing an effective and appropriate Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and Individualized Transition Plan for a high school student receiving special education services. We are providing support to the exceptional children's program, the student, the family, and the teachers by working together to establish the most effective future plan for the student's post secondary education, vocation, and community activities. My doctoral student and I are able to learn more about an online curriculum for the NC Occupational Course of Study in which we will be able to share the knowedge we gain with our undergraduate teacher candidates.

Community Engagement is about bringing people and organizations together to make a positive, significant, and lasting difference in the world in which we live. We engage as one of many members who make up our communities. We collaborate with many through our scholarship, teaching, research, creative activities, and service. We engage because we know that great accomplishments, big and small, short-term and long-term, are made possible when we bring together community and university-based knowledge in and out of the classroom, as well as on and off-campus. Together, we collectively imagine what it means to be stewards of our communities and to act as innovators who are redefining the public research university for the 21st century as an inclusive, collaborative, and responsive institution making a difference in the lives of students and the communities it serves. This is what it means to do something bigger altogether.
