We invite your participation in the Regional Campus Compact Conference on Civic Engagement, September 22-24, 2010, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  This conference will bring together individuals from across the nation to explore different perspectives on service-learning and civic engagement alongside colleagues from Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma and provide an opportunity for service-learning professionals and community partners to share program models and best practices and network with one another.

  • A concurrent session presentation.
  • Facilitate a roundtable discussion.

CONFERENCE AUDIENCE

Conference participants will include learners and educators from diverse constituencies: faculty, students, administrators, and service-learning coordinators; VISTA members; and government, community agencies and partners.

CONFERENCE GOALS

  • Demonstrating evidence of effectiveness for student and community outcomes;
  • Celebrating successes, rejuvenating, and connecting to the broader service community;
  • Enhancing practical service-learning skills and deepening philosophical understanding of participants;
  • Exploring engaged scholarship and community-based research;
  • Communicating ideas and practical solutions to service-learning challenges;
  • Offering provocative, inclusive and interactive conference sessions;
  • Providing time for informal discussions and networking; and
  • Building a regional network of service-learning colleagues.

We value Montana Campus Compact for creating an awareness and dialogue in the state among higher education institutions, community partners, our higher education commissioner's office, and various other entities about the importance of community involvement for college and university students. The AmeriCorps and VISTA programs are also very valuable resources."
