Vancouver, WA, Institute invite!

[Announcement from he-sl]

I enjoyed seeing many of you at the CUMU conference.  Thank you for the presentations, and conversation.  Several of you expressed interest in our two day retreat. 

​​

We are hosting in Vancouver, WA (across the Columbia River from Portland, OR) the end of November. See the below announcement for more information​.  This is similar to the Institute being sponsored by ADP and NASPA the first part of November -- and there is still room for your institution's team in Washington!  I hope you will join Marshall Welch, John Saltmarsh, Jen Hine, and our TreeTop team for two days of thinking strategically about how to deepen your community engagement.  Stay an extra day for the Carnegie workshop at WSU Vancouver.

Also, we have one more episode in the three part webinar series that Emily Janke is facilitating for us.  Join us either October 30 or November 2 for conversations with Presidents Paul Pribbenow (October 30) and Richard Guarasci (November 2), and UNC Greensboro leaders Jodi Pettizoni, Director of the Office of Assessment and Accreditation and Jeff Shafer, Associate Vice Chancellor of Communications.  Together we will learn about ensuring there is cross-institutional ownership and utilization of your community engagement story.

Do not hesitate to contact me if I can provide any additional information!
