All,
Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin Campus Compacts invite you
to present and join us for the first annual Upper Midwest Civic Engagement
Summit, June 5-6, 2012 at Macalester College in St. Paul Minnesota. The Summit
will provide opportunities for faculty, professional staff, student and
community leaders interested in higher education civic engagement activities to
network and learn from one another while engaging in skill-building sessions as
well as discussing challenging issues facing our communities and campuses.
This work is critical to democracy. 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. Rather than resigning ourselves to the
existence of major social problems, campuses can build partnerships that
support student success and address specific community priorities. Investing in assessment also allows us to
communicate the value of these collaborative efforts and continue to improve
them.
Please consider submitting a proposal to present a
session or poster by February 24, 2012 using this RFP form: http://tinyurl.com/7djka92.
Registration will open in March. More information can be
found and will be added to this page: http://www.iacampuscompact.org/upper-midwest-civic-engagement-summit.html.
Please pass along to any other interested individuals and
networks! Thanks and feel free to contact me with any questions.
