The symposium portion is $50 for Campus Compact and PHENND members and $75 for non-members.
9:00 AM - 2:30 PM ET
The event is designed to move beyond abstract commitments, providing engagement administrators and campus leaders with a practical path for integrating civic and community engagement across all institutional functions—from research and teaching to operations and economic influence.
Campus Champion Meet Up
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM ET
Designed exclusively for Campus Champions, this session offers the space to navigate what this role really means on your campus, to work within systems while pushing them forward, and to build community with fellow Champions doing the same.
Gathering Reception
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM ET
Light bites, drinks, and live music by Temple students on one of campus's most beautiful outdoor spaces. Keep the conversations going, connect with fellow Campus Champions, and take advantage of on-site professional headshots for event participants.
