Upper Midwest Civic Engagement Summit
_Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin Campus Compacts invite you to present and join
us for the inaugural Upper
Midwest Civic Engagement Summit, June 5-6, 2012 at Macalester College
in St. Paul Minnesota. The Summit will provide opportunities for
faculty, professional staff, student and community leaders interested in
higher education civic engagement activities to
network and learn from one another while engaging in skill-building
sessions as well as discussing challenging issues facing our communities
and campuses.
This work is critical to democracy. In an era of deeply polarized and uncivil public discourse, high-quality community work and learning prepares students to listen and speak respectfully across differences. Rather than resigning ourselves to the existence of major social problems, campuses can build partnerships that support student success and address specific community priorities. Investing in assessment also allows us to communicate the value of these collaborative efforts and continue to improve them.

Registration will open in March. Early registration rates are $75 for Campus Compact members, $150 for non-members and $40 for students and AmeriCorps members. Stay tuned for more information on the schedule and registration in 2012!
