Call for Proposals: Community Engagement Administrators Conference

[Announcement from he-sl listserv]

North Carolina Campus Compact’s
2017 Community Engagement Administrators Conference (CEAC)
"The Future of Alternative Breaks: Deeper Learning and Impact"

June 6-7, 2017

Elon University, Elon, NC

Call for proposals: deadline extended to May 1

Registration: closes May 19

We are currently seeking workshops related to best practices/models for program structure, implementation, and sustainability of alternative breaks. We are excited to host this follow-up to the 2013 CEAC focused on alternative breaks.

Keynote speakers include Melody Porter and Shoshanna Sumka, two of the authors of “Working Side by Side: Creating Alternative Breaks as Catalysts for Global Learning, Student Leadership, and Social Change” published in 2015. Dr. Beth Niehaus will share her recent research that looks at how alternative breaks fit into students’ broader experiences including the relationship between what students do after they return from their ABs that helps them build on their experiences and perceived gains in social justice and diversity orientations.

Conference registration is $75/pp for individuals from Campus Compact member institutions. The cost is $100/pp if from a non-member campus. Though CEAC is typically geared for faculty and staff, student leaders of alternative break programs are also welcome this year.
