Campus Compact is seeking applications for a Wicked Issues Fellow to serve as the key contributor in planning and facilitating a webinar series and developing a knowledge hub. We are also recruiting for two individuals to join the design team to support the Wicked Issues Fellow in planning the webinars and generating a knowledge hub that will reside on the Campus Compact website.
The Addressing Wicked Issues through Community-Engaged Scholarship series, brought to you by Campus Compact and ACES, takes a deep dive into the most critical issues threatening our communities to explore how we—higher education community engagement professionals, practitioners, and scholars—can make a difference. We are happy to announce that the 2026 series will focus on the intersection of our climate and our health, starting on March 30th, 2026 and culminating on May 1st, 2026 at the start of Earth Month.

The fellow will explore how knowledge about this issue is being generated, how people in higher education can come together to put that knowledge to good use, and ways to apply what is known to work to create local solutions to these wicked problems. The design team will meet with the fellow during the webinar development phase between January 12, 2025 and February 13, 2026. After the webinars conclude, formal meetings will resume to assist the fellow in curating resources that will be used to create the resource hub.
