Compact27 Conference

Compact27 is the largest national conference focused on higher education’s civic and community engagement mission. Sessions explore topics such as civic learning and democratic engagement, publicly engaged scholarship, practice, and teaching, community-engaged partnerships, institutional action, and anchor initiatives. Compact27 provides resources, professional development, networking opportunities, and inspiration to community engagement professionals, engaged faculty, community partners, student civic leaders, and campus senior leaders.

Hope is a practice we choose and return to, not something we wait for. Every effort that has made our communities and our democracy stronger began with people who decided hope was worth acting on, together. At Compact27, we will explore how to cultivate and sustain hope—in ourselves and each other, on our campuses, in our communities, and throughout our democracy. Join us as we discover how to keep hope moving through intentional engagement, vibrant storytelling, bold partnerships, student-led change, and sustained action, so that we may turn our individual efforts into collective progress toward a better future.

We're seeking supporters and sponsors to help us take our conference to the next level. By sponsoring Compact27, you will find plenty of opportunities to share your brand and make meaningful connections with our community of faculty, staff, senior administrators, students, and community-based partners. Plus, you will demonstrate your commitment to higher education's role in building a just and equitable future.
