He created a model for measuring cost-effectiveness for EAB as related to Ash trees. Jim Grener presented us with a business assessment financial analysis templet model for cost for EAB ash tree management. This templet served as a financial analysis that would be used to help donors understand the cost of replacement and what their funds would pay for. Our organization evaluated 13 presentations and served on the panel to assess student performance and outcome. This was a large part of the final student grade.

Civic and Political Engagement, Raise Awareness
Description : Good partnerships are key to building strong bonds between campuses and communities, but how do we make sure they’re healthy, balanced, and effective? This week on #CompactNationPod we discuss partnerships in principle and in practice. Emily shares a fascinating new study from Iowa Campus Compact about how nonprofits perceive higher education and learn more about the University of Nebraska Omaha’s innovative Barbara Weitz Community Engagement Center. Plus, Compact conference season continues as Andrew shares some great tidbits from the Eastern Region Campus Compact Conference. Members of the UNO and CEC community volunteered their time to contribute to the compact's mission and sharing information about university and community collaboration/partnerships. The Compact Nation Podcast features "conversations with leading community engagement professionals and discussions of new research and innovative work in the field." https://soundcloud.com/compactnationpodcast/partnerships-that-actually-work
