Engaging local high school students and teachers\, the partnership has collected data on a range of complex environmental issues\, educated residents on risks\, and developed solutions to reduce exposure and contamination. \nThe project\, which was initially sponsored by university start-up funds\, allowed TAMU and Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services to build trust\, engage the community\, and explore community needs before developing proposals for additional funding. This work\, along with over 30 partnerships with community partners\, led to the book Engaged Research for Community Resilience to Climate Change and our rules of thumb to authentically engage communities. \nPart of the Planet Texas 2050 Resilience Roundtable series\, Academic-Community Partnerships for Adaptation and Resilience. \nSpeakers:\nJaimie Hicks Masterson – Jaimie Hicks Masterson is director of Texas Target Communities at Texas A&M University\, a high impact service-learning and engaged research program that works alongside low-capacity communities to plan for resilience.

She is the engagement coordinator Institute for Sustainable Communities and the Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard project funded by the Department of Homeland Security and a part of the Center for Coastal Resilience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. \nJohn T. Cooper – Dr. John T. Cooper\, Jr. has also served as Assistant Vice President for the Division of Academic and Strategic Collaborations at Texas A&M University. Dr. Cooper’s areas of interest include principles of inclusive planning and plan quality.
