In this pre-conference session, learn about Campus Compact’s newly re-designed framework that supports colleges and universities in embedding civic and community engagement across their institution in meaningful and sustainable ways. Session participants will preview this framework and a new collaborative guide that takes a “deep dive” into civic learning and democratic engagement (developed in partnership with the CLDE Coalition). The workshop will include breakout groups focused on the Institutional Framework and the CLDE “deep-dive” guide, and allow time for participants to think more deeply about how their college or university can begin building campus-wide commitments, strategies, and action plans to advance their public mission. In order to further support the strategic planning process, you may find it helpful to attend this session with others from your institution.

Campus Compact’s Civic Action Plan Redesign Fellows, all nationally recognized scholar-practitioners, will facilitate this interactive session.
