Home Professional Development Developing Core Skills Core Skill: Collaboration Core Skill: Collaboration Collaboration is the intentional process of working effectively with others toward shared objectives (e.g., active listening, sharing responsibility, valuing, and learning from the contributions of team members). Collaboration also involves deeper commitments to communities where knowledge and public goods are co-created through mutually beneficial partnerships. Rackham Resources Campus Resources Rackham Resources Rackham Program in Public Scholarship (RPPS) The Rackham Program in Public Scholarship supports collaborative scholarly and creative endeavors that engage communities and co-create public goods. RPPS supports graduate students looking to deepen their public engagement and professional development through four core offerings: The Institute for Social Change, the Engaged Pedagogy Initiative, Public Scholarship Grants, and Public Engagement Fellowship internships at sites across southeast Michigan. Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshops Rackham sponsors interdisciplinary graduate-student and faculty groups to encourage exchange and collaboration among students and faculty who share intellectual interests but do not necessarily have an easily available forum in common because they have different academic affiliations.
