The Borough of State College has been working on a variety of initiatives to better engage residents with the borough, and to help build community across age groups, neighborhoods, and town & gown. One initiative they’re considering is hosting a regular Lunch & Learn gathering that would bring residents, borough employees, and others together to help strengthen such community connections. The borough would like suggestions for how such a program should be implemented, including potential topics and partners, promotion, frequency, and how to evaluate its success. A team of students developed suggestions for how the Borough could implement a community-building Lunch and Learn program, which could include case studies of other successful communities or programs.
