Midwest regional conference on service-learning & civic engagement, Oct 11-12 in St Louis, MO

[Announcement from Comm-engagedscholarship listserv]


Dear community-engaged scholarship colleagues,

Make plans to join colleagues from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and other Midwestern states at the St. Louis Union Station Marriott Hotel in St.
Louis, Missouri on October 11-12, 2012 for the Campus Compact Heartland Conference.  Dr. Ken Reardon, Professor and Director of the Graduate Division in City and Regional Planning at the University of Memphis will keynote the two-day event on a theme of civic engagement.  The 2012 Heartland Conference will provide opportunities for faculty, professional staff, student and community leaders interested in higher education to network and learn from one another while engaging in skill-building sessions, as well as discussing challenging issues facing our communities and campuses. In an era of deeply polarized and uncivil public discourse, high-quality community work and learning prepares students to listen and speak respectfully across differences.  Share your successes in campus and community engagement, hear new ideas, and network with scholars and practitioners.

Date:  October 11-12, 2012

Place:  St. Louis Union Station Marriott, St. Louis, MO


Contact:  Miranda Outon, Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, mouton@osrhe.edu, 405-225-9150

Keynote Speaker:  Dr. Ken Reardon, Professor and Director of the Graduate Division in City and Regional Planning, University of Memphis

Thanks,

Rahma Osman
