College Promise Members: College Civic Learning for an Engaged Democracy – Dec 13&14, Feb 6&7

Posted by College Promise on November 8, 2022

College Promise is proud to be a founding and lead partner in the Civic Learning and Democracy Engagement Coalition.  Our shared goal is to make it a policy and educator priority to include all postsecondary students in active civic learning for an engaged democracy. Learn more.

This year, the Coalition is holding a series of five Planning and Action Forums where policy leaders and educators can work together on civic learning for an engaged democracy.  The forums include educator-policy dialogues on the role of state systems, community college systems, and accreditors in making college civic learning a policy priority.  They also feature new evidence showing both the completion benefits of active civic learning and the deep disparities in who participates.

The Forum series — called College Civic Learning for an Engaged Democracy — begins with two virtual forums: December 13 and 14, 2022, from 2:30–5:30 each day, and February 6 and 7, 2023, from 2:30–5:30 each day.

You can access the agenda here and register.

We hope all our College Promise partners will mark the dates and plan for a team to attend.  Thanks to grant support, there is no charge for participating teams.
