Peer Development Network

The Peer Development Network is a 10-session series designed to support campuses in determining whether the Carnegie Classification is attainable, structuring their self-study processes, and addressing challenges in the application process.

Beginning with three webinars, national experts will explain the application framework, feasible assessment methods, and model application processes. 

• Webinar I: Classification & Framework – April 2013
• Webinar II: Carnegie-worthy Assessment – May 2013
• Webinar III: Panel of Model Processes – June 2013

Following the webinar series, participants continue their participation through a Peer Support Institute.  The Peer Support Institute will organize participants in small groups where they identify two areas of the application framework they anticipate to be the most challenging for their campus.  Trained facilitators will work with each group to identify resources and strategies to address those challenges.

This Peer Development Network is offered by the Eastern Region Campus Compact.  For more information, please click here.

Registration is open to all Campus Compact members in any state. Registration is $150 for maximum 6 participants per institution for Campus Compact members and $450 for maximum 6 participants per institution for non-Campus Compact members.
