Campus Compact is thrilled to welcome its second cohort into the Mid-Career Learning Community! These individuals (see below) were selected because they are engaged in important, unique civic and community engagement work at their respective institutions. As they grow into senior leadership roles in higher education, the Mid-Career Learning Community is an opportunity to collaborate, share learning, and network.
