On November 7-9, Campus Compact convened the 2002 Summit, "Realizing the Civic Mission of Higher Education," in Providence, Rhode Island. This Summit was the capstone event for four years of work supported by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The Trusts enabled Campus Compact to conduct a range of programs addressing how the institutional resources of campuses can be brought to bear on educating the next generation of civic leaders. We have worked with hundreds of faculty, chief academic officers, and campus community service/service learning professionals to move their institutions to higher levels on the vertical continuum we call the "Pyramid of Service Learning." This capstone event addressed the pinnacle of that pyramid, gathering those whose work represents the cutting edge of the service and civic education movement in higher education.
