Abstract	Collaboration across multiple perspectives enhances the potential for innovative solutions to the complex issues of our time. An interdisciplinary education (IDE) community of practice (CoP) proved to be a catalyst for bringing together interested faculty from across a large public college to create an IDE learning event focused on homelessness. Using a qualitative research approach, we explored the process and impact on student learning. Four main themes emerged: authentic engagement, transcending perspectives, collective responsibility, and cultivating curiosity. The first three themes identify the transformative power of IDE, while the last theme highlights the challenge of remaining open to differing perspectives. We learned the value of incorporating perspectives beyond strictly disciplinary views, such as narratives from those directly impacted by homelessness--to stimulate empathy, transformation, and the will to act.
