SHARE your CBL course impact
All faculty who taught CBL courses this academic year are invited to join us for our Annual End of Year Celebration on Friday, June 3rd. Don’t forget to report what took place in your CBL courses this year so we can include you on the guest list!

NOMINATE your students for the Community Engagement Award (Deadline is next Friday, May 6th)
CBL will be recognizing a PCC student who has completed a community-based learning project during this current academic year. CBL recognizes these students for their community-based learning efforts in their courses and communities. In addition to gaining valuable academic and work skills, students who receive the Community Engagement Award receive a signed certificate, gift from the CBL Program, college recognition, and the benefit of including the award on scholarship applications and resumes. The Nomination form can be filled out online or can be download as a PDF from the CBL website.
