Compact22: Program

Campus Compact builds its conference agenda by inviting faculty, staff, students, and community partners to submit sessions for inclusion in this process. Our call for proposals deadline was October 25, 2021, and we are no longer accepting suggestions for sessions. If you have any questions about our proposals process, please read more below or contact us at conference@compact.org.

We asked that all submitted proposals explore our theme: A Better Way Forward: Innovation with equity at the center. Sessions may explore topics such as civic engagement, community-engaged research, civic- and service-learning, institutional chance, university-community partnerships, and more. We welcomed proposals representing work undertaken through public, private, two-year, four-year, and graduate colleges and universities, along with organizations outside of higher education, including community-based partners. All sessions should contribute to equity & inclusion goals and represent a multiplicity of perspectives.

Watch Party	During this session, participants will join as presenters screen a pre-recorded presentation. Presentations will last 20 minutes and participants may use the chat functionality to ask questions during the screening. After the presentation ends, participants will spend the rest of the session time in Q&A and discussion.
Book Club	For book club sessions, participants will be asked to come prepared. The presenter will assign a video, document, or publication along with a "study guide" for participants to review in advance of the session. During the assigned day and time, participants will gather for a longer, in-depth moderated conversation with the presenter.
Roundtable	Roundtable discussions will be used to workshop ideas, gather feedback, and work collaboratively toward solutions. In small groups of 8-10, participants will discuss an initiative, project, or program that is in development.
Knowledge-to-Action Workshop	Knowledge-to-Action sessions are focused on sharing specific knowledge, theories, skills, or methods for practical application. These sessions will be highly interactive and all participants will leave with actionable recommendations for practice.
Lightning Talks	These 5-7 minute pre-recorded videos delivered in either Pecha Kucha or Ignite talk format will be curated into themed groups of 4-5 videos. After the lightning talks are screened, participants will join presenters of all video creators for Q&A. Lightning talks will also be made available as on-demand content for conference attendees.
