Abstract:
This capstone project’s research opened dialogue between neighbors and community partners. Our written case studies identify a pattern
of ineffective and incomplete engagement,
specifically with the residents of the Fitzgerald neighborhood. As an anchoring institution
within the neighborhood, the Marygrove Conservancy is looking to connect with Fitzgerald
residents in meaningful and sustainable ways.
The team goal is to create a toolkit that uses
storytelling to engage, connect, and strengthen relationships between neighbors and community partners
