Pennsylvania Campus Compact: 2003 Conference Proposals
Posted by on June 6, 2003
Request for Workshop Proposals
Recent articles in the Chronicle of Higher Education reveal that college and university students are emerging as a “swing” population in the 2004 presidential election. This finding is consistent with other educational research that indicates students are becoming more politically active. Higher education organizations such as Campus Compact have been active in promoting civic behaviors among students and civic engagement practices for higher education institutions.
This year’s conference focuses upon the “engaging practices” that encourage, invite, and compel civic participation from students. To this end, we are inviting workshop proposals that will highlight best practices, programs, and educational foundations that underpin the development of students as civic leaders, as well as the role of academic institutions as enabling mechanisms for civic engagement.
Proposals should resonate with the conference theme, Grassroots Democracy: Engaging Practices for Change, and connect with the following themes that last year’s conference participants suggested for future exploration:
The workshop should be a balance between sharing your expertise/experience and actively engaging the workshop participants. Workshops should last 75 minutes, attract approximately 35 people, and appeal to students and/or faculty/staff of colleges and universities.
Proposals should be sent by July 9, 2003 to:
Pennsylvania Campus Compact
800 North Third Street
Suite 402
Harrisburg, PA 17102
Please direct any questions to Jaimie Birge or Michele Lowrey at (717) 232-4446.
