Whether you are new to E4CE or an old friend, this “Reunion on the Ridge” promises to be a powerful event. The coordinating committee in Berea has worked hard to design service-learning workshops related to this unique Appalachian setting. These experiential community sessions will introduce you to the heart of the National Gathering, the learning circles. Come meet new friends, reunite with longtime colleagues, and tackle some of the most important issues facing campuses and communities today.

We have created a entire new website for this important Gathering! Visit http://www.e4ce.org/NG2004 to find out why this will be one of the most memorable service-learning events of the year. Through critical workshops and learning-circles we will share our knowledge and stories about the topics through deep dialogue that is empowering and transforming.

Berea College offers a unique setting for celebrating our past and looking forward. The College was founded in 1855 to serve the Appalachian region and to provide interracial education, especially to African Americans and whites, men and women. Berea is a federal work college, and is unique in that it offers full-tuition scholarships to all students, who must come from low-income backgrounds. The rich cultural, service, and social justice traditions of Appalachian communities will provide an exciting context for our Gathering.

As always the Educators for Community Engagement seeks inclusion of all stake holders and so we offer scholarships and special team rates. Visit the website for Additional information and registration materials: http://www.e4ce.org/NG2004. Remember your registration costs includes a one year membership in the Educators for Community Engagement!

We hope you’ll join us as we gather in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains!
