Editorial Board

The Catalyst editorial board consists of nine practitioner-scholars representing the diverse institutions within the NCCE consortium. Members include community-engaged faculty, staff, and administrators from public and private colleges and universities, HBCUs, and the private sector.

The inaugural issue, guest edited by NCCE Executive Director Leslie Garvin and managed by Allison Walker, Director of Community Partnerships & Experiential Learning at Wake Forest University, invites submissions that explore the theme of sustaining joy in challenging times.
