Conversations among colleagues, from the Campus Compact national office
“Have you heard the joke about the three community engagement directors getting into an elevator?”
– Andrew Seligsohn, Campus Compact President
in Episode 1 of The Compact Nation Podcast
The Compact Nation Podcast will available for FREE through iTunes beginning September 8th, with a Preview Episode available today. This once-a-month download will explore candid conversations with thought-leaders in the field, book reviews, and discussions on issues facing higher education and our communities. And maybe the answer to what happens when a few community engagement professionals step into an elevator . . . or start a podcast.
Meet Your Hosts:

Jamison has spent nearly two decades connecting higher education and nonprofits through meaningful community engagement partnerships to strengthen their impact and better orchestrate their narratives as one. He is the Executive Director of Indiana Campus Compact, the Co-Founder and Chief Storytelling Officer of The Facing Project, and he serves on the Editorial Board for the International Journal of Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement. He seeks to connect people to create understanding across difference, and he likes peanut butter and puppies–but not together.
