Lori McKinney

My main focus is transforming the city, one connection at a time. In my official role as a Service Learning Specialist at Metropolitan State University of Denver, I work with faculty and community partners to support service learning and community-based research in the Denver Metro Area. Support includes everything from curriculum design coaching to grant funding to site visits. As a city-wide connector, former full-time faculty member, university grant committee member, and staff at various non-profit organizations, I am aware of the demands on partners of various kinds and the importance of working together to leverage our resources to strengthen our communities.
