"Have
you heard the joke about the three community engagement directors getting
into an elevator?"

Episode 1, Compact Nation Podcast
Tune in monthly for conversations with leading community
engagement professionals, book and literature reviews, discussions
of important topics in the field, and maybe the answer to what happens
when a few community engagement professionals step into an elevator-or
start a podcast.
Meet your Hosts:
Emily J. Shields has served as executive director of Iowa
Campus Compact (IACC) since 2011. She is the co-chair of the
National Campus Compact Network Operations Committee and serves on the
Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service, the Grinnell College Prize Review
Committee, and the Grand View University Business School Advisory
Council. An Iowa native, she has two toddlers and lives with her partner
in Des Moines, Iowa. Her hobbies include listening to podcasts, playing
outside, supporting progressive candidates, and bossing people around.
J.R. Jamison has spent nearly two decades
connecting higher education and nonprofits through meaningful
community engagement partnerships to strengthen their impact and better
orchestrate their narratives as one. He is the Executive Director of
Indiana Campus Compact, the Co-Founder and Chief Storytelling Officer of
The Facing Project, and he serves on the Editorial Board for
the International Journal of Research on Service-Learning and
Community Engagement. He seeks to connect people to create
understanding across difference,
and he likes peanut butter and
puppies-but not together.
