Call for Session Proposals - Upper Midwest Civic Engagement Summit

[Announcement from he-sl listserv]

Upper Midwest Civic Engagement Summit Call for Session Proposals

Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin Campus Compact invite proposals for the Upper Midwest Civic Engagement Summit, which will take place May 29-30, 2013 at Loras College, Dubuque, Iowa.

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. More than 180 colleagues attended the inaugural Summit in St. Paul.

Each session proposal should relate to the 2013 summit theme:  Weaving Deep Connections Across Institutions and Communities. 

Greater depth and integration of civic engagement work in higher education is essential to advancing colleges’ and universities’ missions to graduate students with the capacities and determination to contribute to the public good; to discover and apply knowledge in ways that strengthen our democracy, economy, and society; and to act as responsible anchors in their own communities.  The planning committee thus invites sessions addressing different types of deep civic connections, such as: connecting local and global work, aligning civic engagement with other priorities or initiatives (e.g., college access and success, economic development, diversity, career preparation), shifting from partnering with communities to becoming part of communities, and linking students’ curricular and co-curricular experiences for greater learning and impact.

Submit your proposal by February 11, 2013:  http://www.midwestengagementsummit.org/session-proposals.html
