Come join your colleagues for a one-day intensive discussion of effective approaches to campus-community partnerships. New and seasoned community service directors and others interested in service and service-learning will address the challenges and opportunities of working with your communities. Community service directors are key facilitators of campus engagement, yet they rarely have the opportunity to participate in a national dialogue with their peers.

This pre-conference will be interactive and will focus on practical recommendations, best practices, and program models. The day will include a keynote address exploring visions, realities, and challenges of the engaged campus; concurrent session on key partnerships and concerns; and a closing intergenerational panel discussion of key themes and next steps. Workshop topics will include: working with faculty, getting buy-in from administrators, using reflection to connect service and social justice, student diversity, and fundraising strategies.
