Call for Proposals: Institute on Service-Learning

Posted by on September 12, 2003

Michigan Campus Compact invites the submission of conference proposals for the 8th annual Institute on Service-Learning “Inspiring Citizenship through Service-Learning” to be held February 5-6, 2004 on the campus of Grand Valley State University. View the Call for Proposals at: http://www.micampuscompact.org/save.html. Proposals are due October 10, 2003!

This year’s institute is shaping up to be one of the best! Confirmed keynote speakers include Dr. Brian O’Connell, author of Civil Society: Underpinnings of American Society and Liz Hollander, Executive Director of National Campus Compact. A special and separate youth track is being developed for 9th grade-college students with keynote speaker Jamaal Young, service-learning advocate and recent Georgetown University graduate.

The institute planning committee seeks pre-conference sessions, workshops, panel discussions, dialogue sessions, research/papers, and/or posters/displays. Sessions should be directed at higher educators, k-12 educators, and/or youth. Please contact MCC if you have questions about a session type. We look forward to a fantastic variety of sessions, and hope you’ll join us for the institute. Conference registration information will be available in early November.
