Programs Address the Conference Theme
Transforming Lives Through Collaboration, Community and
Citizenship
Transforming lives: Whose lives? Students? Faculty?
Clients of our community partners?
To what ends? Where’s your
evidence? What are the best practices?
Collaboration: How difficult it can be, given our
differing goals, values and constituencies! How do we do it? What are its
essential ingredients?
Community: Warm, fuzzy feeling or concrete achievement?
How do we know it when we see it? Can it be operationalized and duplicated?
Citizenship: How do we nurture this originating objective
of the civic engagement movement? What is my role? What is the role of public
policy?
